Welcome to the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast, a weekly conversation about mental health,

personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions

of ourselves.

Hey y'all!

Thanks so much for joining me for session 121 of the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast.

For today's conversation, I'm joined again by Dr. Shina Young, who was our guest on session 18

of the podcast regarding healing after a sexual assault. Dr. Young is back with us this week

to talk more about her passion for helping us to heal using a holistic perspective.

Dr. Young is a holistic and body-inclusive psychologist, trauma-informed yoga teacher, and healer.

She owns a private practice, embodied truth healing, and psychological services in the Los Angeles

area, holding space for women of color. She is most powerful in listening to the body,

co-healing intergenerational trauma and ancestral wounds, facilitating holistic healing experiences,

mind, body, heart, and spirit. And in the spirit of decolonizing healing, she has cultivated a new

space, healing color, and online directory of healers of color for the people. Dr. Young and I

chatted about what it means to approach our healing holistically. How this vantage point is a

part of our history? What it means to decolonize our healing? Different pathways to healing?

And questions to ask when working with someone in a healing practice.
