The Trauma of Oppression
December 29th, 2009
Being a Person of Color in America has it’s challenges. You already know that. You don’t need a therapist to tell you about racism and how it affects you and your life. What I would like to tell you about, however, is how therapy can help relieve trauma-based symptoms which are caused by social conditions, like racism, sexism, and the like.
Race Relations in the Therapy Room
November 19th, 2008
I am sitting across from a new client - a person of another race. I make a statement like “Often times, the fact of our different races can influence the process and outcome of our work together. I’m going to do my best to pay attention to this. I’d also encourage you to speak up if you think our cultural differences are getting in the way of our work.” The client looks at me with a smile, pulls out her/his wallet, and shows me a picture of her/his child - clearly a biracial kid.
