Really really good and packed with information about how to dismantle white supremacy and other harmful systems in the mental health space. It's definitely geared toward practitioners but there is plenty of information for participants and clients as well.

Kind of a side note, but this offered a lot about burnout that I wasn't expecting, so I was pleasantly surprised as I read Emily and Amelia Nagoski's Burnout and felt disappointed that it didn't seem to have an intersectional lens. This offered a lot more to think about that was actually applicable to my life.

It talks about things that you probably more or less know about if you've read any timely books on psychology and mental health, such as epigenetics and intergenerational trauma, but it collects all of the research done in one place and the author uses it to explain how the colonized, white supremacist system tries to keep us from exploring those areas of trauma. Which is why decolonizing is so important.

I also really appreciated the sections about spirituality. Jennifer Mullan paid a lot of respect to different spiritualities, even those that she may not agree with, and honored their importance in the healing of grief and rage.

I think this is a 6/5 in terms of being a resource, but as a reading experience it got to be a bit much at times. You should be aware before reading this that it is a resource book and guidebook, which may make many of the chapters feel repetitive. Each chapter ends with a summary of the points discussed, a collection of ideas for pracitioners to begin implementing decolonial healing, and a set of affirmations to use when dealing with issues that might come up. There are also, intermittently, reflection questions that try to get you to break your habit of thinking and shift your perspective.

100% worth the read, I learned so much and had a lot of epiphanies.
