Multicultural guidelines dictate that White therapists examine their own racial identity to better serve clients of color. This workshop will specifically focus on aspects of White socialization to help therapists self-assess their own White racial identity. In addition, Menakem’s H-I-P-P theory of how historical trauma is somatically held in the body will be presented to better understand the typical nervous system response in a White body. Ways White therapists can navigate their own somatic countertransference reactions when working with clients of color will be examined. Dr. Fatter will describe ways White privilege and White fragility can show up in a therapy session as well as provide examples of specific types of microaggressions that can damage the therapeutic relationship. This workshop will include experiential exercises for self-inquiry and growth towards becoming an anti-racist White therapist.
