Description
Description:
Just as human beings are not generic, so, too, trauma is an event that is affected by and interacts with people’s intersectional identities. This workshop will introduce participants to a mindful model for understanding how to move towards cultural competence in practice with trauma survivors. We will pay particular attention to therapist countertransference/fragility, and to the effects of shame, guilt, privilege, and dominant culture narratives on trauma treatment. Some experience working with trauma survivors is assumed.
Educational Objectives:
- Describe how trauma interacts with and infuses intersectional identities.
- Utilize strategies for mindful relationship with one’s guilt, shame, and fragility.
- Describe how culturally competent practice enhances the effects of treatment.
