Exactly!!!!!

Mental health oppression is the systemic suppression of emotional discharge and the invalidation of oppressed people’s minds. It is violent, and working as it was intended. It is the attempt to control people by enforcing standards of conduct, thereby invalidating their process, categorizing people into diagnoses, pressuring people “to do something about it,” and punishing any attempts at liberation. Mental health oppression oppresses people systematically “forgotten,” left out of the equation, and relegated to the margins. What it also does is maintain imperialism, white supremacy, ableism, fatphobia, and transphobia by reinforcing and hiding the function of these very oppressive movements—TO GET PEOPLE TO CONFORM.

Mental health oppression affects people NOT living with mental anguish. It helps to maintain the structures and hierarchies of society by keeping people and their big emotions in line. It is abusive. It is an abuse of power on the part of mental health professionals. It minimizes people’s capacity to really believe that they can connect, trust one another, and liberate themselves.

Mental health oppression impedes all liberation movements. It makes people afraid of big feelings and afraid of losing their minds if they were to let go and let out. The largest deceit of all is mind control. This sick syndrome of gaslighting where people are tricked and bamboozled into thinking that overseers/police, politicians, and millionaires are generally trustworthy. We are collectively gaslit into believing that unhoused people and disabled people are to blame for their predicaments.

Decolonizing Therapy advocates for stepping out and acknowledging violent systems, antiquated colonial consciousness, and a lack of supportive connective spaces, while deciding how we will divest and heal from them. We are calling attention to the systematic targeting of oppressed communities under the guise of care, health, and safety.

Existing in a world where our rights are up for discussion IS the TRAUMA.

When you know that your word means nothing, THAT’S the TRAUMA.

When you constantly see men get away with violence against women, that’s the TRAUMA.

When you know your husband will be believed over you NO MATTER WHAT, that’s the TRAUMA.

ALL MADE WELL • Coaching for THOSE TRAUMAS

In 1993, the UN finally said the obvious: violence against women is a human-rights violation. In 1994, the U.S. finally passed the Violence Against Women Act to protect survivors. That was yesterday in human history.

Republicans consistently drag their feet on reauthorizing these laws and often try to weaken them—especially when the protections involve restricting access to guns.
