Storytelling as Medicine: Decolonizing Therapy
Therapist Uncensored Podcast (2025)
José joins the hosts of Therapist Uncensored for a powerful conversation on the role of storytelling in healing and liberation. Together, they explore how clinicians can move beyond traditional frameworks and embrace radical healing—centering cultural wisdom, intersectional identities, and community empowerment.
José shares personal insights from his own lived experience as a queer, disabled Puerto Rican clinician and researcher, while offering strategies for dismantling ableism, responding to hate-based violence, and validating collective trauma as a mental health issue. Listeners are invited to rethink what “coping” looks like when the world itself must change.
A bold call to action for therapists, activists, and anyone invested in equity-focused mental health care.
