An energising Sunday filled with insight, connection, tears and laughter.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic and tragic death of George Floyd exemplifies how Black, Asian, and other minority ethnic populations (BAME) have, and continue to suffer under historical and systemic racism in regard to their mental health.

I had the opportunity to attend a training led by Amanda and Scott Kellog on Chairwork in Melbourne. The training was incredibly valuable in helping me refine my skills as a schema therapist. But what stood out to me the most was Amanda's discussion on social justice issues such as racism, sexism, fertility, and bodily autonomy.
