Therapy Is Political
This pin is a reminder that emotional distress doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Our mental health is shaped by the worlds we live in—by systems of power, access, identity, safety, and belonging. Therapy, at its best, doesn’t just focus on individual coping; it also asks why certain people are asked to cope more than others.
Across therapeutic traditions, there’s growing recognition that experiences like racism, homophobia, transphobia, poverty, migration, disability, gendered violence, and surveillance leave real psychological marks. To ignore these forces is not neutrality—it’s erasure.
Wearing this pin signals a commitment to care that is curious, context-aware, and justice-informed. It affirms that healing includes naming harm, challenging unfair systems, and supporting people not just to adapt, but to live with dignity.
Perfect for therapists, students, organizers, educators, and anyone who believes that mental health work is also social work.
Because caring for people means caring about the conditions they live in.
