To Heal Our Communities, We Need to Explore the Unconscious Mind

Psychologist and teacher Dr. Monqiue Bowen believes that the benefits of psychoanalysis extend far beyond the healing and personal growth that can come from exploring one’s subconsciousness. In a country built on whiteness and systemic racism, the act of analyzing unconscious thoughts and behaviors can provides an opportunity for community healing across communities. Having a safe space to have these conversations is essential. In this conversation, Dr. Bowen discusses how therapy can be a place of healing not only for the patient but also for the therapist—and for the community at large.
