The Trauma Educator Podcast
The Trauma Educator Podcast is where nervous system, somatic education, and conversations on trauma meet culture and society.
Through thought-proving interviews monologues and community Q&As, we explore how the nervous system is shaped by trauma and how family dynamics, cultural norms and collective patterns influence our health and relationships. Each episode invites you to connect your individual healing to the bigger picture of community and collective well-being. You’ll find valuable insights, accessible education, and meaningful conversations that challenge old conditioning and open space for reimagining life.
In essence, The Trauma Educator Podcast is about health and well-being, but it also extends far beyond into the cultural, relational, and systemic forces that shape them every day. Join us as we expand the conversation on trauma and healing, and discover how nervous system work can support both personal growth and cultural transformation.

Episode 3 | Rage, Grief, Decolonizing Therapy, and Historical Trauma with Dr. Jenn Mullan
In this new episode of The Trauma Educator Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Jennifer Mullan, a major disruptor in the mental health industrial complex and the founder of Decolonizing Therapy®, a psychological evolution that weaves together political, ancestral, therapeutic, and global well-being. She’s the recipient of Essence magazine’s 2020 Essential Hero Award in the category of mental health and the author of the national best seller Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma & Politicizing Your Practice. She's also the creator of the popular Instagram platform @decolonizingtherapy.
Together, we explore how colonization, oppression, and historical trauma have shaped modern psychology and how we can reclaim mental health through ancestral wisdom, community and embodied healing. Dr. Jenn breaks down how diagnoses can be weaponized, why she calls symptoms “expressions,” the role of rage as sacred medicine for both individual and collective liberation, and the importance of grief work.
