<p>In this episode, Danielle Herrera, LMFT, shares her personal and professional journey of decolonizing mental health. We are initiated into the intergenerational wisdom<em> and </em>trauma of our ancestors. Healing multiple generations of trauma is the duality of returning what&#39;s not ours, and allowing ourselves to be held in the relational and collective space of of something bigger - divinity, nature, and ancestry. Danielle speaks about an Arabic phrase from Islam, أَسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللَّٰهَ (Astaghfirullah) which signifies &quot;seeking forgiveness from god;&quot; A process of releasing and returning trauma to a higher power, which we may experience through the &quot;initiation&quot; of our ancestral trauma.</p>
