Liberation Psychology

I absolutely believe that the personal is political and that care work is liberation work. In the words of queer Black feminist Audre Lorde: “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” Marginalized people know the truth of this statement!

Guided by the principles of empathy, solidarity, and social justice, liberation psychology champions the plurality of experiences. It invites us to question prevailing power structures, systems of privilege, and compels us to critically examine the narratives we internalize, offering tools to deconstruct oppressive beliefs and foster resilience in the face of adversity. By dismantling the barriers that confine and limit us, we open ourselves to the possibility of meaningful, radical change.
