APRIL 2025 Lunch & Unlearn: Therapy Isn't Political
Lunch and Unlearn, Vol. 3: "Therapy Isn’t Political"
But what if it is? And what if it always has been?
For years, therapists have been taught that the therapy room should remain a neutral space, free of political discussions. But can we truly separate mental health from the sociopolitical systems that shape our clients' realities? In this session, we’ll explore the complex debate of whether therapy can—or should—be apolitical.
Join us for the third gathering of Lunch and Unlearn, a refreshing, thought-provoking series led by Dr. Sahar Martinez, founder of The Process Wellness Collective. In each session, Dr. Martinez will guide us through important discussions on the deeply ingrained beliefs and practices within the therapy space that we might want to reconsider—or even unlearn.
