Summary

Sue Marriott and Akilah Riley Richardson dive into a compelling discussion about the vital need to center marginalized voices in therapy. They explore how Western perspectives have shaped therapy practices globally, often overlooking diverse cultural approaches. Akilah brings a fresh, challenging perspective to the table. She pushes for a real shake-up in how we approach therapy, especially when working with marginalized couples. It's not just about tweaking existing methods – she's calling for a fundamental rethinking of our assumptions.
The conversation tackles some heavy topics, from unpacking the concept of relational privilege to developing strategies that help couples see beyond their individual struggles to the bigger picture of systemic trauma. It's eye-opening stuff. What really stands out is their focus on the deep impact of systemic trauma. They don't just acknowledge it – they dig into why it's so crucial for therapists to truly understand and address it in their work.
Ultimately, this discussion isn't just academic. It's a call to action for therapists to step up, broaden their perspectives, and find new ways to help couples break free from systemic constraints. It's about empowering relationships and, in the process, maybe changing the face of therapy itself.

0:00.0	In my work as a therapist one of the things I've had to learn is the value of going slow
0:09.4	and the value of understanding that I may not get the outcome that I may desire here, they may not get the outcome they desire here, and that is okay.
0:18.0	And I know that may sound and may blow some people's guys like, oh you can't say that, but I think we have to be okay with that. We have to not turn this industry into this place where we promised people things that are not always the reality.
0:31.6	It's sitting and holding people and being tender with people and
0:34.8	understanding their systems and especially when you're working with systemic trauma.
0:39.6	This thing that is so pervasive because we would work on an element today and then
0:44.1	somebody would leave and something would happen you know I'm about to square one and I
0:48.7	think when you have to face the fact that you cannot present your intervention as this cure-all.
0:57.0	Welcome to Therapist Uncensored.
1:01.0	Building on decades of professional experience this podcast tackles
1:04.1	neurobiology, modern attachment, and more in an honest way that's helpful in healing
1:08.8	humans. Your session begins now with Dr. Ann Kelly and Sue Marriott. I recently discovered a whole food that I love. It's Armra Calostrum and I have learned so much from both researching it and adding this to my diet.
1:31.0	So one thing I learned is that colostrum is the first nutrition we receive in life and it contains all the essential nutrients for our bodies that our bodies need to thrive. So our raw colostrum is premium bovine colostrum
1:46.8	concentrate and then it's optimized for human health. It harnesses over 400
1:52.4	living bioactive nutrients that strengthen the barriers of our
1:56.0	body and fuels cellular health. So two things I've noticed about the effects on me. First,
2:01.6	I could feel the impact on my endurance during my
2:04.7	workouts. First it was subtle and then I really noticed a difference. The thing that
2:09.2	actually caught me by surprise though and it was a pleasant surprise was the effect on my hair. I've been
2:14.2	looking for something to help my hair from like the natural thinning process that I've
2:18.1	started seeing and when I started taking arm-wro-kolostrum I notice a difference in my hair pretty quickly.
2:24.8	It's helped to make my hair thicker and healthier.
