Decolonizing Mental Health in the Polycrisis
Names “separability” — the modern/colonial onto-epistemology that severs humans from nature, each other and their own bodies — as the root of the polycrisis, and proposes “neuro-decolonization” as the repair: those socialised into separability un-numb to entanglement and responsibility; those subjugated by it reclaim suppressed healing practices. Ten years of work with the Teia das 5 Curas network in Brazil and Peru, written into a psychology journal. The separability argument arrives here from clinical practice rather than philosophy, which is why it’s on the shelf beside the more familiar versions.
