Healing Justice: Dr. Han Ren on Systemic Oppression and Therapy
“Ask them where they are in their own identity work, because we cannot be healers and, you know, serve others if we don't do our own work. We can only take people as far as where you've been able to excavate ourselves.”

In this episode of 'Healing from the Inside', host Kina Penelope sits down with Dr. Han Ren to unravel the intricate ties between social systems of oppression and complex trauma. They dive into how justice-oriented and anti-oppression work can transform therapy into a powerful tool for healing marginalized communities.

Whether you're grappling with your own experiences or seeking to understand how to be a better ally and healer, this episode offers a blend of practical advice and profound reflections.
