For generations, arguably centuries, women’s stories have been told and reinterpreted by men. Also, the lens of women’s mental health has been defined through a Eurocentric lens, primarily defined by white men. Deviations from the male Eurocentric norms are often seen as pathology. Patriarchal and Eurocentric systems of thought analysis have often perpetuated the soul wounds of women and created the intergenerational trauma of being powerless, devalued, disconnected from community, and left struggling to have hope in a future life they want to have. This recording examines an indigenous decolonized model of healing and participants will have a chance to experience this model themselves.

Anita Mandley, MS, LCPC, is an integrative Psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience in the field of mental health. Anita’s specific areas of special interest and expertise is in working with adults who struggle to manage their moods and those who have had significant experiences of invalidation, including experiences of trauma, violence, abuse, and neglect. The complexity of such experiences necessitates complexity in treatment. Anita’s integrative perspective and treatment approach is based on her belief that you need to treat clients’ distress in the context of their whole self: i.e. body, brain, mind and spirit.
Anita uses the dynamic Collaborative Stage Model, developed by Mary Jo Barrett to organize treatment in a way that increases efficacy, while avoiding the treatment pitfalls of the extremes of chaos and rigidity.
