IN SESSION #20: Therapy in times of imperial implosion
I am SO excited for this episode where I will be joined by some kickass clinician comrades, Mel Naa & Dana, who are all actively thinking through how we defy the carceral logics of the psy-fields, how to resist imperial cooptation, how to push against the seams of normative f**kery, and all the struggles and contradictions inherent to doing the work of therapy. We have a LOT to talk about and I can’t wait for folks to get front row to this conversation I know I have been wanting to have for a longgggggg time.
Melissa Lopez, aka Mel is a Fat, Q***r, Chicanx Femme- She’s been an antagonistic and unruly mental health therapist for 21 years.
Her practice includes working with people of various interlocking oppressions through an anti imperialist, anti white supremacy lens (she doesn’t give one f**k about “evidence based modalities).” Hobbies include pi***ng off white people, hating on something or another, obsessing over cats, raccoons, & Halloween/horror. The Coven, are the cats and dogs that make up her family.
Naa Adaku is a social worker who likes to giggle alot and calls herself an anti imperialist horse mom.
She is known as her neighborhoods friendly rebel in Ghana usually walking barefoot with a pack of dogs surrounding her or riding long distance motocross bikes. Her interests are china-africa relations, anti-blackness, African sovereignty and the eradication of femicide in Africa.
Dana is a social worker, psychotherapist, parent and comrade committed to a better world for all our children and all life on earth. She lives in US-occupied Puerto Rico which is her partner’s ancestral home with their child, 2 cats and 7 chickens.
Interests are anti-imperialism, disalienating psychotherapy, confronting liberals, feeding people, and quality time with her child and comrades.
