Do you ever feel you are just “therapizing” your clients to try and “be OK” with a bad system? Often when caseloads are high we can get stuck in a role of treating the individual when the mental health professional within us knows that the individual is not the real problem. We are talking systems of oppression like patriarchy, racism, anti LGBTQ+ prejudice. In this episode Dr Rebekah Shallcross tells us how her work with the Feminist Therapy Centre aims to create social change through psychology. Listen in for inspiration and a call to action!
