Embodied therapy is an approach that combines traditional talk therapy with somatic practices. It might include breathwork, grounding exercises, guided movement, mindfulness, meditation, imagery, or even role-play. The aim is to bring awareness to physical sensations, helping clients notice how emotions “live” in the body. By tuning in, people often unlock insights and release long-held patterns.

Mainstream approaches to suicide prevention often rely on coercive and oppressive systems—calling the police, forced hospitalization, or surveillance under the guise of “safety.” While these interventions may be well-intentioned, they can be deeply harmful, especially for communities already targeted by policing and institutional violence, including Black, Indigenous, disabled, trans, queer, and poor people.

When you think of protesting, of allyship, of activism – what do you picture? Maybe it’s people making signs and marching in the streets, maybe it’s folks organizing events or sit-ins, maybe it’s fundraisers and phone chains, or activist influencers known for their fierce advocacy. While all of these efforts are impactful ways to affect change, there are other ways you can join the resistance, too.
