Reviews

""Healing the Oppressed Body is a revelation. Andrea Gutiérrez-Glik potently reminds readers that the body is both archive and oracle. Offering a fierce and tender medicine for those of us carrying the weight of systems in our flesh. This book bridges somatic practice, political clarity, and ancestral remembrance. With precision and care, Healing the Oppressed Body shows that embodiment itself is a radical act of resistance, a pathway to sovereignty and collective repair. The book is a permission slip Home--reminding us that our bodies have always known the way home."" —Dr. Jennifer Mulan author of the national best seller Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma & Politicizing Your Practice ""Healing the Oppressed Body is a navigation guide that offers space, voice, and dignity to anyone relegated to the shadows of our society. This is the healing compass we need for those whom society has intentionally forgotten. This book will heal generations!"" —Dr. Mariel Buqué, bestselling author & owner of Break the Cycle ""Useful for therapists looking to understand how to integrate work on systemic and generational violence into their practice and for those seeking therapy who want to understand what is out there."" —Susan Raffo, author of Liberated to the Bone ""Brilliant! In Healing the Oppressed Body, Andrea Gutiérrez-Glik has helped to close the gap on our understanding of the intersection of discrimination and post-traumatic stress. She compassionately invites us to look through a multifaceted lens that accounts for generational, cultural, and personal life experiences and the ways that trauma and oppression take their toll on body and mind. This biopsychosocial perspective offers hope and a path forward."" —Arielle Schwartz, PhD, Psychologist, Award Winning Author of the Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook, and Founder of the Center for Resilience Informed Therapy
