In this recent gathering, What Occupation Does to the Soul, Dr. Gabor Maté reflects on writing the foreword for Dr. Samah Jabr’s new book, and the clarity it offers about Palestine’s long history of occupation, displacement, and collective trauma.
He speaks to one of Dr. Jabr’s central teachings:
Therapy is resistance.
When violence is ongoing, healing cannot mean adapting quietly to harm. It means naming the conditions that create suffering. It means refusing dehumanization. It means tending the psyche while also telling the truth about the world that wounded it.
Dr. Jabr’s work reminds us that mental health is never separate from justice, dignity, memory, and liberation.
For those called to go deeper, Dr. Jabr is offering a course starting on July 5th:
✨ Decolonial Mental Health Practice
Clinical & Ethical Insights from Palestine, Part 2
A four-part online course with SAND
