Dr. Wendi is in conversation with Dr. Jennifer Mullan, a clinical psychologist who is lovingly called the “Rage Doctor”.

Dr. Mullan is the creator and founder of Decolonizing Therapy and has merged her training as a psychologist with her lived experience to question the ways in which the practice of psychology works and doesn’t work, for whom, and why.

Her work is powerful and is outlined in her recent book, Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma and Politicizing your Practice. Dr. Mullan has cultivated her practice through her work as a professor preparing social workers, therapists, and psychologists in academic programs as well as direct clinical work with clients, specifically young people identifying as BIPOC in complex communities and environments.

Her latest work amplifies the importance of getting acquainted with rage such that its expression can be liberatory, releasing her clients (individuals and organizations) from the captivity of unexpressed emotion to the lightness available when one listens to what their rage is attempting to tell them about their boundaries and need for care and protection.  This, she says, distinguishes “rage for rage sake” from sacred rage.
