“We either own our stories or they own us. Only when we have the courage to own our history, are we able to write a brave new ending to our story”

Brene Brown.

About this workshop:

A race story encompasses our origins, ancestral history, family stories, culture, intersectionality, memories, experiences and connection to our identity and sense of belonging. We all have a race story to share, if as Therapists, we have not explored our own race story, how can we assist our clients to do so? In this experiential workshop, we will explore:

  • Our racial identity
  • The importance of creative expression when words alone are not enough
  • Moving away from the “elephant in the room” and learning how to engage in our client’s race stories
  • Creative tools and activities that can be used within the therapeutic relationship
  • Opportunity to explore and create your own race stories

Rima is an Indian Psychotherapist; she has built her own race story and will share extracts during the workshop through poetry, music, and images. We aim for this space to be non- judgemental, safe, inclusive, and respectful for all Therapists of all backgrounds, race, and cultures.
 
Please note: Delegates will be required to bring along some paper, coloured pens / pencils and two items that connect them to their racial identity.

Who is this workshop for?

Final year students and post-qualification professionals.
