2023 WORKSHOPS
A Black Empathic Approach: The Challenge of Racism: September 2023 workshop
Workshops are presented by BIPOC Masters trained by Dr Isha Mckenzie-Mavinga in a Black Empathic, approach to therapy, and the challenge of racism. NB:Currently running online
These workshops support participants to develop a framework for therapeutic understanding based on concepts such as Recognition Trauma and a black empathic approach presented in Dr Isha Mckenzie-Mavinga’s books. Black Issues in the Therapeutic Process. [2009] The Challenge of Racism in Therapeutic Practice. [2016] www.ishamckenziemavinga.com
Participants will be offered an opportunity to discuss and explore an antiracist framework for therapeutic engagement, that offers clarity about white privilege and practicing a black empathic approach. This approach models use of dialogue about emerging from the impact of racism and internalised racism.
Dialogue and exploration will enhance Therapists’ and professionals’ insight and practice when working with the impact of racism in training, CPD and professional support. Participants will be supported to make the therapeutic space safe enough for a dialogue about racism.
The workshop runs from Friday 5-8.00PM to Saturday 9.30 AM to 5.00. Places are limited so book early. Next workshop Autumn 2023 Full attendance and participation essential.
Day 1- Identifying and emerging from the traumatic impact of racism.
Day 2 – Practicing a black empathic approach: Addressing Identity, Colourism and internalized oppression.
AN APPROPRIATE GAZE
One of the main challenges for therapists is addressing the powerful feelings that racism evokes and being able to accept that these are normal feelings about an abnormal situation, that we can work through and empower ourselves.
Participant feedback-This workshop of Dr Isha's approach is essential in addressing racism and internalised racism as a matter of individual liberation and wider transformative justice.
You truly mastered the theme and the way of training. Although it was on-line, I was fully engaged from the beginning till end. You opened my eyes in many ways and I am going to continue to grow my awareness of my whiteness with other colleagues from this training group. Thank you!
