The Challenge of Racism in Therapeutic Practice
Engaging with oppression in practice and supervision
With Dr Isha Mckenzie-Mavinga
This workshop will explore themes addressed in Isha’s second book. (Title above) This two day training will enhance Therapists’ and professionals’ insight and practice when working with the hidden and voiced impact of black and Asian diversity and the impact of racism in professional support.
Day 1 – Voicing the Unbearable: Denial, Silence, Rage
An exploration of the impact of racism on personal development and the psyche: The challenge of addressing the personal and social impact.
Day 2 - Identity, Colourism and internalized oppression. Using concepts such as ‘Recognition Trauma’ and ‘A Black Empathic Approach’ to understand the impact of Intergenerational oppression and racism.
The days will offer participants:
Concepts that allow the possibility of making the therapeutic space safe enough for a dialogue about racism.
Skills in supporting professionals, trainees and clients in race and power issues associated with oppression and internalised oppression.
Exercises and presentations will be used to encourage shared experiences and dialogue.
We support the specific requirements of the differently abled.
Comments from the first run of seminars:
“I have found more ways of conversing about the difficult content of racism and now I can invite more dialogue in a safe supportive way”
“This has opened up my door of learning wider. Helps me to be with and in my blackness with love and empathy for myself”
