Description

Beyond the Spot: Decolonizing Healing One Brain at a Time is a bold and restorative podcast hosted by Tracy Gantlin-Monroy, MDiv, LPC, and the first Black female Brainspotting trainer in the world. Centering cultural consciousness, trauma recovery, and truth-telling in therapy, this show explores what healing looks like when we decolonize the process—one nervous system at a time.

Join Tracy as she challenges mental health misinformation, uplifts body-based wisdom, and invites you to reclaim healing as a birthright. For clinicians, seekers, and anyone ready to go deeper than talk therapy.
