Healing Trauma, Healthy Relationships, Anti-Oppression

Deeper Dimensions Blog

Candyce Ossefort-Russel is one of the folks I’ve been so lucky to learn from. Her blog, Deeper Dimensions, and weekly newsletter is amazing. Start with her 6-Part Series on Emotion, here.

Carescapes

Margeaux Feldman is a gem and has so many really lovely offerings. I’m enjoying their weekly newsletter Carescapes on substack. And I love their offerings on Instagram as @softcore_trauma.

Yolanda Renteria’s Workshops

Yolanda makes complex therapy topics easy to understand. She offers several affordable, on-demand workshops, and is another person with an amazing Instagram, @thisisyolandarenteria.

Dr. Alexandra Solomon’s E-Courses

I’ve personally benefitted from Intimate Relationships 101, and she offers a few excellent e-courses. She also has a podcast and has written several excellent books. 

The Nap Ministry

When I need help for resisting capitalism, Tricia Hersey’s work is where I go. You can find her on Instagram @thenapministry.
