In this episode, we explore liberation psychology with Laila El-Asmar, a Palestinian-Italian American therapist who brings over 25 years of experience to the conversation. She defines liberation psychology as a focus on oppression and its impact on marginalized communities, emphasizing how therapy can help individuals free themselves from this pain. We also explore the therapist's personal journey, including her upbringing and cultural background, and how these experiences shape her unique approach to therapy. This episode provides valuable insights into the intersection of culture, identity, and mental health within the framework of liberation psychology.
