Surviving the System: Immigration Trauma, Fear, and the Cost of Belonging
🔊 New Episode of Just Healing – Surviving the System: Immigration Trauma, Fear, and the Cost of Belonging
In this episode of Just Healing, host Dr. Debra sits down with Dr. Christopher Deulen—clinical psychologist, theologian, and longtime advocate for immigrant and marginalized communities.

✨ Topics covered:
-Immigrant mental health & trauma
-Culturally responsive therapy
-DEI rollbacks & their impact
