How much time do you want for your progress? The urgency for decoloniality in psychology persists: Reply to Cobb et al. (2026).

In response to the commentary on our article, "The Fierce Ethical Urgency of Decoloniality in Therapy: From Understanding to Action" (Chavez-Dueñas et al., 2025), we assert that true progress in epistemological liberation, decolonial praxis, and institutional reform demands more than acknowledgment of prior achievements. While it is important to recognize our collective advancements as a field, a point we emphasized in our article, despite contrary assertions by Cobb et al. (2026), we must also resist complacency. It is important to critically question what we label as progress, resist celebrating achievements prematurely, and never forget history. This vigilance is especially important now, as prior advances are being undermined or reversed in both the field of psychology and the broader society.
