In this episode of Books from Your Therapist, we’re joined by therapist and author Andrea Gutiérrez-Glik to talk about her debut book Healing the Oppressed Body. Together, we explore how trauma healing can be reimagined through an anti-oppression lens, centring the experiences of those left out of mainstream mental health conversations. Andrea shares her approach to “oppression-based trauma,” and how compassion, freedom, and community can support deep, sustainable healing.
In the second half of the episode, we discuss The Loving Parent Guidebook by ACA WSO Inc. and explore the practice of reparenting. From inner child work to finding supportive community, this conversation offers thoughtful, practical entry points for anyone curious about healing in a more holistic and inclusive way.
