Esteemed mental health care leader “Rage Doctor” Dr. Jennifer Mullan will lead a discussion at the Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg on August 17. The Speakers Who Inspire event will focus on “Breaking Cycles of Historical Pain: Healing Our Legacies of Generational Trauma.”
Who is the “Rage Doctor”?
Known widely as the “Rage Doctor,” Dr. Jennifer Mullan is creating an urgent call to dive to the root of global and generational trauma to unlock the wisdom of sacred rage. In December 2017, Dr. Mullan launched @decolonizingtherapy on Instagram. This account has grown a large, enthusiastic following and profoundly shifted the world’s understanding of therapy and mental health.
She continues to lead the charge–challenging how therapists are educated and how they practice. Her forthcoming book “Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma & Politicizing Your Practice” will be available in November.
