16 Jan 2020Thank you Tileah for sharing your idea of de-colonised practice, there were some new concepts for me. For people sent for mandatory therapy you suggest ÿarning with a purpose”; and for sitting with people with “damage centred stories”, you suggest giving them the power to determine what well-being means for them. Empowerment as a result of a de-colonised approach allows for political action and spiritual practice.
