Even though Women of Color are members of the global majority, race-based traumatic stress, a unique form of emotional trauma that many experience, tends to be overlooked in their psychotherapeutic treatment. This oversight is often due to the therapist's resistance to having uncomfortable conversations about race in the therapeutic setting caused by the lack of education in the treatment of racial trauma, and the therapist's lack of awareness regarding his/her own racial identity including, cultural and social conditioning, internalized racial biases, unhealed racial trauma, blind spots, and the impact of the therapist's race on the client.
