Took my time reading #Jilya to absorb its depths, thinking, moved to tears, even inspired a song! Listened to last few chapters as an #audiobook with Dr Tracy Westerman #reading. Luxury, like having an individual masterclass. #BuildAnArmy #Indigenous #FirstNations open.spotify.com/show/5vmgCyk...
Excellent book on relevance of indigenous culture in psychological and social interventions and on prevention of indigenous incarcaration and suicides. #australia #indigenousaus #blackaustralia #indigenousculture #tracywesterman #psychology #jilya

@drtracywesterman.bsky.social #Jilya A refreshing read written by the wonderfull Dr Tracy. Read this book, listen to the audiobook as I did.
Jilya - superb, educative, supportive, extremely well researched book from one of the most intelligent humans I’ve ever listened to Highly recommended.
Prevention is key not bandaid solutions.
Decision makers need to listen.

I believe that "Jilya" will become a mainstay of teaching psychiatrists etc about culturally informed & appropriate cultural therapeutic practices, how to engage with racial trauma & evidenced based treatments for managing racism around the world.

Listening to this conversation, so moved again by Tracy reading first excerpt from her #book #Jilya about her grandfather saving her mum. Superb, highly recommend #Australians #psychology #students #psychologists #Indigenous #FirstNations #humans

So many great tools to increase resilience woven into Tracy’s writing. #Jilya is taking a while to read, as I keep needing to think about what I’ve read. Tracy’s ideas, stories, many deeply challenging. Such a wealth of insight, validation, healing and hope. #psychat #psychology #DrTracyWesterman
Finally got back to #book #Jilya, had stopped at chapter 5 to read other #books, perhaps sensing this chapter would be triggering. Cried at Tracy’s tale of losing her dad. ICUs are amazing, but an assault on senses at best of times, when for Tracy it was worst of times. #grief #psychat
Enthralled by Tracy Westerman’s book Jilya and I thought this would be my favourite line: “If you are sharing space but not sharing power, it’s tokenism.”
Then I read this… #jilya #racialjustice #tracywesterman
