Description
The Trauma of Racism: Expert Strategies to Help Clients Heal is a challenge for even the most experienced practitioner. But when a client’s trauma stems from experiences of racism, treatment can become even more complex – for both the practitioner and client.
Because here’s the thing . . .
- Historically, much of our training hasn’t taught us how to work with the significant link between racism and trauma.
- We know there are cultural gaps in our training that lead to deficiencies in the treatment that clients of color receive.
- That’s why even if we’re well-versed in working with chronic stress and trauma, we’re likely missing tools to treat clients who’ve experienced racial stress and trauma.
- And without the proper training, it can have serious consequences for our work with clients.
- Because of how insidious racism can be, some racial stress and trauma can easily go unnoticed – even by the most experienced practitioners.
- Some acts of racism, like hate crimes and slurs, can be easy to spot. But so often, racism creeps up in more subtle ways – even in the most commonplace, everyday interactions.
- And over time, the stress of discrimination, marginalization, and prejudice can build into trauma.
The Trauma of Racism: Expert Strategies to Help Clients Heal with Nicam
So here’s why this matters . . .
Without targeted strategies for treating racial trauma, we fall short with clients of color.
While issues of race and racism might not be the primary reason a client walks through your door, they could be a significant contributing factor. But if we aren’t working from a culturally informed perspective, we might find ourselves unprepared when stories of racial stress and trauma come up.
And in some cases, the treatment we provide might end up doing more harm than good.
That’s why knowing how to address these issues can be critical in creating a practice that’s safer, more inclusive, and better equipped to serve clients of color.
So for this trauma training program, we turned to 19 experts in the field of multicultural psychology. They shared with us their best culturally informed strategies to help clients of color heal from the hidden wounds of racial trauma.
