Episode 134: Redefining Trauma Work Through Collective Healing [featuring Marjorie Jean]
As therapists and practitioners, we're always seeking innovative ways to foster healing and support growth in our clients.
In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Marjorie Jean, a trailblazing therapist who is reshaping the approach to mental health care by harnessing the power of community.
Key Takeaways:
- Community-Centric Healing: Discover how to integrate community and family dynamics into therapy, advocating for a collective approach to healing over traditional individual-focused modalities.
- Cultural Competence: Learn how therapists can become trauma-informed and inclusive in a real and impactful way instead of just performative, as well as the significance of cultural and collective esteem in therapeutic practice.
- Navigating Anxiety: Hear a refreshing perspective on embracing anxiety, reframing it as a manageable aspect rather than something to eliminate, and how community support plays a crucial role in mental well-being.
Join us as we delve into a conversation on the transformative potential of group healing and cultural awareness in therapy.
Note From Marjorie:
My name is Marjorie and I am a passionate advocate for culturally conscious mental health education. I am a certified Mental Health First Aid instructor, a social entrepreneur, producer of joy, a Haiti optimist, mom and pet owner, and a systems therapist with a focus on somatic stress recovery. My area of expertise is attachment and intergenerational trauma, migration trauma, burnout, work-life vitality, and esteem. I also offer vitality consulting and coaching tailored to support organizations committed to an employee experience where people are seen and heard in affirming ways.
