EVENT DESCRIPTION:
We invite you to join us for the next NARM Online Workshop. Cultural trauma, a significant yet under-recognized aspect of Complex Trauma, can contribute to misattunement in therapeutic relationships due to lack of diversity in the mental health field, the legacy of systemic oppression in American institutions, implicit bias and other countertransference reactions within clinicians.
The workshop will explore the impact of cultural trauma in order to increase cultural competency in working with people of color and the LGBTQ community, as well as other minority communities. The intention of this workshop is to present specific dilemmas minorities face and how clinicians can be better prepared to support these clients to incorporate agency and begin resolving the impact of systemic trauma in their individual experience. We will use the basic principles of NARM to begin an important discussion facing all clinicians in the current American culture in how to most optimally create the therapeutic conditions for addressing the complexities of historical and cultural trauma.
Some areas we will review in this workshop:
Overview of cultural trauma, the historic and systemic oppression in American culture of minority groups, specifically focusing in this workshop on people of color and the LGBTQ community.
Systemic oppression, objectification and environmental failures and their role in contributing to Complex Trauma.
Identifying the specific survival strategies relied upon in these populations of clients.
Highlighting clinician countertransference and implicit bias, and its impact on clinical attunement and effective treatment.
Introducing the process of how to be an effective ally in the therapeutic relationship in addressing issues related to historical and cultural trauma.
Understanding aspects of the therapeutic relationship – including consent, agency and allyship - to advance therapeutic and social change.
Please note, your purchase includes one-year of replay video access, downloadable audio, slides and workshop transcript.
