What is intersectional psychology — and why does it matter so much for mental health today? In this Best of Season 1 episode, Aurora Brown brings together key moments from all four episodes of Dissecting Intersectional Psychology, offering a rich and accessible introduction to intersectionality, social justice, and their ethical relevance to psychology and counselling practice. This episode also grapples honestly with psychology’s history — including its complicity in systems like apartheid and eugenics — and asks what accountability, repair, and ethical practice require of us today. Along the way, Aurora reflects on coalition-building, civil disobedience, and how mental health professionals can engage in advocacy without abandoning care, nuance, or humility. Whether you’re a psychology professional, student, activist, or someone navigating the mental health system yourself, this episode offers language, frameworks, and courage for thinking differently about care. Aurora will be taking a short recording break over the festive season, but episodes will continue to drop — starting with this Season 1 retrospective. 🎁 Support the podcast and get exclusive bonus content Patreon.com/IntersectionalPsychology 🌈 If this episode resonates, please share it, rate the show, and send us your thoughts.  📄 Download a transcript of this episode on IntersectionalPsychology.com. ⏳ Chapter Timestamps 00:00:00 Land acknowledgement00:00:28 Title credits 00:01:23 Welcome and introduction00:03:33 Intersectionality in practice00:12:47 Practical social justice advocacy in psychology00:22:10 Psychology's historical missteps00:34:24 Civil disobedience and systemic change00:43:21 The empathetic, ethical, and empowered counsellor00:53:12 End credits Stay connected to Aurora and Intersectional Psychology 🔗 Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts📮 Got feedback or questions?

In this episode of Intersectional Psychology, we dive head-first into the colourful chaos of Disney Pixar’s Inside Out — a film that looks deceptively simple, but opens the door to some beautifully complex conversations about emotions, memory, identity development, neurodiversity, and what it means to be human.

A 40-minute guided body scan to reduce stress, support emotional regulation, and support better sleep.

Burnout isn’t a personal failure — it’s a signal. And if your signal is currently flashing, sirening, or doing that chaotic strobe-light thing… you’re in the right place. In this month’s guided relaxation practice, we slow everything down and offer your nervous system exactly what it’s been begging for: rest, grounding, and a moment of personal care.

Can we tell stories of violence without reproducing harm? Aurora sits down with Nicole Engelbrecht of True Crime South Africa to unpack the ethics — and emotional toll — of the true crime genre.

I'm joined again by autistic, Afrikan, trans liberation scholar siv greyson about what it takes to live and love bravely at the intersections of race, gender, and neurodivergence. This episode turns from theory to practice: what safety feels like, how chosen families are built, and why real allyship means doing it scared. Together, we unpack the emotional work of reconciliation, the courage of vulnerability, and the quiet revolution of creating safe spaces at home, in community, and within ourselves.

Aurora Brown and true-crime podcaster and author Nicole Engelbrecht check into the Bates Motel to unpack Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960) — the film that redefined horror, shocked censors, and spawned a thousand shower-scene parodies. But beneath the shrieking violins and the chocolate-syrup blood, Psycho is a story about repression, gender panic, and the ways patriarchy pathologises femininity, queerness, and mental illness.

What does it mean to be trans, autistic, and Afrikan in South Africa today? In this episode of Intersectional Psychology, host Aurora Brown talks with siv greyson — an autistic, Afrikan, and transgender liberation scholar — about navigating identity, healthcare, and everyday life at the intersections of race, gender, and neurodivergence. Siv shares powerful insights into the realities of being a neurodivergent trans person of colour in the South African public health system. From microaggressions in clinics to joy in small moments of connection, this conversation unpacks how racism, ableism, and transphobia shape care — and how joy, rest, and resistance offer healing alternatives. This episode challenges us to rethink what liberation really means — not only for trans and neurodivergent people, but for all of us living in systems built on exclusion.

How do films and TV shows shape the way we think about mental health? From harmful stereotypes to ethical storytelling, representation on screen has real consequences for stigma, care, and justice. In this episode, Aurora introduces the Fanon Test for Mental Health Representation in Media — a new tool inspired by the Bechdel Test, grounded in intersectional and decolonial psychology, and designed to hold our screens accountable. Tune in to learn why representation is public health, what the five Fanon Scales are, and how your favourite films might measure up. 🎁 Support the podcast and get exclusive bonus content Patreon.com/IntersectionalPsychology 🌈 If this episode resonates, please share it, rate the show, and send us your thoughts.

In this month's guided relaxation practice, Aurora leads you through a Loving-Kindness Meditation (metta). This ancient practice, now backed by modern psychology, helps us cultivate compassion for ourselves, our loved ones, people we struggle with, and ultimately all beings. Research shows that regular practice can reduce stress, quiet the inner critic, strengthen resilience, and even improve physical wellbeing. Together, we’ll explore how a few simple phrases can open the heart, build empathy, and create a greater sense of connection in daily life. 📄 Download a transcript of this episode on IntersectionalPsychology.com. ⏳ Chapter Timestamps 00:00:00 Land acknowledgement 00:00:30 Welcome and introduction00:01:57 Benefits of loving-kindness practices00:04:17 Grounding00:08:36 Setting your intention00:09:25 Loving-kindness practice00:24:27 End credits Exclusive bonus content  🎁 Patreon.com/IntersectionalPsychology - Extended and bonus episodes Stay connected to Aurora and Intersectional Psychology 🔗 Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts🌈 Share this episode with someone who needs peace📮 Got feedback or questions?

On this World Suicide Prevention Day, we explore the real stories behind the statistics. Suicide is never about one thing — it’s shaped by pain, pressure, stigma, and systems that make it hard to ask for help. In this episode, we unpack the myths, talk honestly about why suicide happens, and share how we can respond with compassion and support.

From troll farms to toxic platforms, anti-gender movements are pushing disinformation and harassment harder than ever. The result? Real harm to queer lives and mental health. But resistance is possible — and joy is non-negotiable. In this episode of Intersectional Psychology, Aurora chats with Clinical Psychologist Pierre Brouard about the digital battlefield we’re living in and how to survive it with your sanity intact.

This guided Tree Meditation offers 45–60 minutes of grounding, soothing, and release from stress and anxiousness. Using breath, imagery, and brain-based techniques, you’ll be invited to root like a tree — steady, supported, and safe. Adaptations are included for listeners who find visualisation difficult (aphantasia-friendly cues). ⚠️ Not suitable for everyone with dissociative conditions — please consult your healthcare provider if you’re unsure. Subscribe for monthly guided relaxations + conversations on psychology, social justice, and collective care.

They’re all part of the U.S. Christian Right’s campaign to export “pro-family” politics to Africa — and it’s causing real harm. In this episode, we expose how conservative religious groups from the Global North are funding anti-LGBTQIA+ laws, sabotaging reproductive rights, and co-opting decolonial language to disguise a new kind of moral imperialism. Sociology postdoctoral researcher and author Haley McEwen joins us to discuss the USA and African pro-family movements. We dig into who these groups are, how they operate, and what it takes to resist their growing influence — all through a trans-inclusive, African-centred lens.

In this episode, clinical psychologist and PsySSA SGD executive member Thembisile Dlamini joins us to unpack the Practice Guidelines for Psychology Professionals Working with Sexually and Gender-Diverse People (2nd edition). These groundbreaking guidelines, published by the Psychological Society of South Africa and the African LGBTQIA+ Human Rights Project, are the only comprehensive, evidence-based mental health guidelines of their kind on the African continent. Together, we explore the real research behind gender-affirming care, the values that underpin the guidelines, and the very deliberate misinformation being spread by anti-trans movements. We also discuss the role of psychology professionals in countering stigma, upholding self-determination, supporting diverse family structures, and advocating for social justice. If you’re a mental health practitioner, an LGBTQIA+ ally, or someone navigating your own identity, this conversation is for you. Thembisile brings warmth, insight, and clarity to a subject that is too often clouded by fearmongering and bad-faith debate. Spoiler: the evidence is real, the guidelines are robust, and gender-affirming care is mental health care.
