Exploring Racial Stress, Trauma, and Antiracism
This workshop will explore different types of racial trauma and how it lives in the body and shows up in relationships. We will explore the legacy of white body supremacy and developing an anti-racism lens in clinical and personal life. We will work to deconstruct therapy models that center whiteness and how to hold space for collective rage and grief with clients and colleagues that supports healing. This anti-racism model will take a mindfulness-based approach to invite in curiosity and an embodied experience. It is an interactive workshop that uses multimedia format to encourage processing in different ways.
