How to Decolonize Your Mind - Black Mediation

w/David Archer

The purpose of CelesteTheTherapist is to help shift the way you think. Many times, we get stuck in a negative cycle and struggle with getting out. Celeste will interview guests from different backgrounds who empower people in different capacities.

In this episode, Celeste & David Archer, MSW, MFT, Psychotherapist and author of Black Meditation, navigates through finding clarity in stillness and knowing your healing ancestors from different forms of meditations.

Listen and understand what it means to decolonize our own minds.

His expertise has been influenced by the principles of mindfulness, intersectional feminism, and critical race theory. He is one of the few mental health professionals in Canada who can provide EMDR, Brainspotting, EFT, and other mind-body strategies utilizing memory reconsolidation and working memory taxation methods.

recently released his second book called Black Meditation It is about self-care, cultivating a positive Black racial identity, and bringing awareness about meditation. My first was called Anti-Racist Psychotherapy which I released in Feb 2021 which discusses the social construction of racial trauma
