About The Training

As therapists, we hold an immense amount of responsibility towards our clients. Early on, we often learn that we have to be “professional”, and act in a particular way, which fits the dominant narrative of cis patriarchal White Eurocentric standards. Being responsible is important, yet being integral is essential.

As marginalized beings, we know too well the experience of being deprived of the opportunity to be who we truly are. As BIPOC. As queer folks. As immigrants. As therapists of any oppressed identity. We naturally learn to minimize our value. 

So let us connect to our innate power as marginalized therapists, and recognize the immense work we do.  

When we as marginalized therapists allow ourselves to embody our worth, we are able to cultivate authentic, balanced and ethical therapeutic relationships. From there, we can truly support our clients in healing themselves, and feel into their innate power.  In this process, it is also vital that we are aware of and understand how we engage with our power in order to best support our clients.

In this training, you’ll learn how to reclaim your innate power as marginalized therapists. You will get a basic understanding of the Right Use of Power (developed by Cedar Barstow), learning the difference between personal, role and status power. You’ll uncover how authenticity is our most essential power. Finally, you’ll also learn how to transform microaggressions into ethical therapeutic interventions.
