“Silence is not inaction. Silence is a stance.”

This is part one of a two-part series with the founder of Inclusive Therapists, Melody and TU Co-host, Sue Marriott. We are pushing for more inclusive, anti-racist, and decolonialized practices.The conversation is  challenging but important as we explore liberation psychology that helps us recognize and unlearn patterns of thinking that are rooted in colonization and European Western education. You may not agree with everything this guest says but you will learn something and likely feel quite a lot. Discomfort is a necessary part of liberating ourselves from engrained traditional patriarchal and white supremist thinking that continues to harm so many.

“I had a choice to say ‘I can conform to this institution. I can bend, I can contort myself by really severing from my humanity, or I can find my people 

and we can collectively do something different.'” – Melody Li, LMFT (they/佢)
