Therapy is not neutral ground.

It is a practice of naming what others would rather leave unsaid.

Reminder: there is no liberation without Black liberation. 🦋

Our culture pressures us to sanctify the dead, but death doesn’t erase the damage they caused. Grief can be freedom. Grief can be justice. Grief can be the release of knowing they can never hurt you again.

Liberation work is relational work!

On Sept 13, we’re gathering for the NBPOC Workshop: Loving Community for Non-Black People of Color. We’ll unpack internalized anti-Blackness and build practices that move us closer to real solidarity.

And you my sw community, are exactly that already. I’m offering supervision for folks making the transition. You already belong.

Hot take: Kink can be
more trauma-
informed than
most therapy. 😬🔥

a lot of us weren’t taught how to be well.
we were taught how to be useful.
and now we’re trying to remember what it means to just be.

how are you unlearning that?

just a reminder that if you’re helping someone “regulate,” you also need to know what’s deregulating them—especially if it’s the state, racism, debt, or burnout.

not everything can be deep-breathed away.

The name on your birth certificate isn’t always the name your spirit answers to.

Sometimes healing isn’t soft. Sometimes it’s sweaty, consensual, and full of safe words.

What if we honored kink as one of many valid tools in the trauma healing toolbox?

✨ this week, we’re hosting a workshop for radical practitioners who want to stop replicating harm and start practicing with class consciousness.

#ClassConsciousTherapy #LiberatoryMentalHealth #TherapistsOnBluesky #HealingJustice #AbolitionistTherapist

when we don’t name class in mental health,
we risk blaming people for their own oppression.

what if you aren’t burnt out—
you’re offering care inside systems designed to exploit?

what if your client isn’t “resistant”—
they’re just exhausted from surviving capitalism?

We have a limited number of scholarship spots available! Send us a DM to claim yours.

👀 What to Expect:
Large/small group conversations rethinking our relationship to burnout & productivity with disability justice principles.

Space to create & process through art that reflects your journey with burnout.

🖌️Materials Needed:
Art supplies

Our aim is to create a space for vulnerability in conversations and practice where we can rethink our relationships to productivity, success, and rest.

Join us for a 2.5 hour workshop where we’ll rethink how we move through burnout! Using disability justice frameworks such as interdependence & crip time, we’ll dive into ways to support ourselves & each other through burnout. 🧵

We’re a directory of radical, politicized providers across many lineages - therapists, bodyworkers, coaches, peer support, and more.

If you’re looking for liberatory care, follow us.

That’s why LWN exists not as a perfect solution, but as a collective refusal. A space where care doesn’t rely on cops, pathology, or silence. Where rage, grief, numbness, and shutdown aren’t treated as problems to fix, but truths to honor.

If your therapist centers compliance over consent, neutrality over justice, or diagnosis over your lived experience, they might not be supporting your healing.

Where all my abolition, liberation focused therapists & healers??

We don’t need more liberal therapists.

We need more anti-capitalist, abolitionist, socialist, communist, land-back, power-to-the-people mental health workers.

A quick note from me (Pat) 💛, this new site has been a long time coming. We listened to your feedback, learned from the bumps in the road, and poured a lot of love into making the directory more accessible, more community-rooted, and more aligned with the vision we hold together.

Equity is at the center of everything we do at ECC. We are proud to offer an 'Equity Rate' of $675 & 'Pay What You Can' option for those who wish to take the certification but cannot afford the full price. If you are experiencing financial hardship, we also provide a limited amount of scholarships.

This workshop offers reflection and tools for navigating these class dynamics, while centering the experiences of marginalized identities.

Join us for a 2 hour thought provoking workshop and discussion designed to explore how clinicians understand class consciousness in therapeutic spaces and within mental health systems.

We will examine how class shows up in therapy - with clients, in supervision, and within ourselves.

You are not unwell for feeling everything. You are not disordered for raging, grieving, or refusing to comply.

Mental health should never be used to gaslight people into obedience. ❌

As radical mental health workers at LWN we reject carceral psychology that labels resistance as pathology.

We stand with LA protestors shutting down ICE raids. 🔥 We stand with Madleen. 🇵🇸 We stand with every person who’s been told they’re “too much” for daring to feel in a fascist world. ✊🏾
