🕯️ Episode Overview
Welcome to The Sacred Psyche where spirituality and therapy meet through the lens of the African Diaspora.
In this inaugural episode, Dr. Tanya A. Alkhaliq introduces the twofold vision of The Sacred Psyche publication and its companion podcast, The Re-Memory Den. Together, they form a bridge between theology, psychology, and collective liberation, a space where spirit meets psyche, and the Black soul remembers its sacred design.
Rooted in Resilient Reclamation Therapy (RRT), this episode outlines the movement’s mission: to reimagine healing beyond Western clinical frameworks and to uplift African, diasporic, and queer-centered modalities of self-restoration and community transformation.
