Constantly deconstructing what our society sees as mental health. 🫶🏼

Mental Health Villains are systemic cultural assumptions about mental health that sabotage our mental health. I've identified 9 mental health villains that I want to teach about: individualism, capitalism, saviorism, neuronormativity, sanism, behaviorism, mind-body dualism, materialism, and scientism.

This isn't a complete list of all of the cultural assumptions that impact mental health - There are so many more villains of mental health that interact with these!

If you want to explore this topic with me, join me in Nov-Dec for a 6 week group called Shifting Blame: The Real Mental Health Villains. I'll be covering definitions, examples, and ways to resist these 9 cultural assumptions that sabotage our mental health.

Just like the list of logical fallacies is something you can use to filter information, this list of 9 mental health villains is something you can use to spot common cultural myths anywhere they pop up.

This is for cycle-breakers, cult survivors, and neurodivergent seekers who came to the system for help but got retraumatized. This is for professionals, educators, and parents, and anyone who wants to create spaces for unblaming and unshaming.

This is a top-down process of psychoeducation that gently invites you into a bottom-up process of transformation in your own space and time outside of the class.

You can expect a mix of information sharing and facilitated inquiry with writing prompts and reflection questions. To avoid re-traumatization, this is not a space to share trauma stories and we will not have time for unstructured discussion.

Growing up, I always wanted to be just like my dad. I still do.

He has a love for tea and quickly became the “tea guy” at work, where people could visit his desk if they wanted to choose from his tea selection.

So, it’s only natural that I followed in his footsteps and now I have a tea station in my office. Any time you come in, feel free to make a cup and get comfy.

Therapy is hard work. Talking about feelings is really hard. Especially with everything going on in the world right now. My space is intentionally curated to bring down some of those barriers and be a safe space to share and heal.

So, come on in. Make a cup. Let’s get to healing 🫶🏼
