Healing Racial Trauma with IFS Therapy

---

The recent protests against racial injustice and police brutality have left many therapists wondering what they can do to be active forces for change in the therapy room and beyond. 

Join Dr. Frank Anderson for this timely discussion about racial trauma with Founder of Black Therapists Rock & IFS Institute Online Ambassador, Deran Young, LCSW as they explore how clinicians can create a safe space in therapy for clients of color. 

Using the framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS), this session offers practical skills to help heal the traumatic wounds of oppression. You’ll discover how to: 

• Apply the IFS model to help heal trauma, and acknowledge and own the parts of ourselves that become reactive when discussing issues of diversity 
• Increase your ability to avoid microaggressions and help clients explore emotional wounds with culturally sensitive techniques  
• Explore the ways in which Intersectionality affects therapy in order to better improve treatment outcomes for clients with diverse backgrounds. 
• And more!
