So for the people that are hearing the word decolonizing in a mental health context for the first time, how do you explain what it actually means for someone's inner life?

There are a number of thought leaders, practitioners, scholars who are talking about this more.

Like it's been spoken about for a long time.

A lot of my work was off Linda Smith, who's based in Aotearoa in New Zealand.

And so there are a number of definitions, but this is the one I like the most because part of my superpower is reducing complex language into something simple.

It doesn't make sense all on these academic shelves if we can't relate to each other.

For me, the term I like the most when I say decolonizing is to just move away from a dominant narrative.

So how do you help someone tell the difference between their actual self and the inherited story that seems to be running the show at times?
