Aprašymas

When racism is the cause of PTSD, how do you treat it?

Although racial trauma is a common form of PTSD among Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC), few therapists know how to treat it--leaving traumatized clients without the support they need to heal from the devastating effects of oppression and discrimination.

A Clinician's Guide to Healing the Wounds of Racial Trauma fills this gap by providing a 12-session, step-by-step approach for treating race-based trauma from a cognitive behavioral (CBT) perspective. Written by Dr. Monnica Williams--an internationally recognized expert on trauma and racial health disparities--it is filled with sample scripts, worksheets, tips, and guiding questions to help clients:

• Defuse from the shame and self-blame tied to their trauma
• Process trauma memories through exposure and habituation
• Develop a stronger, more positive ethnoracial identity
• Consolidate their trauma into a cohesive and meaningful narrative
• Build coping skills and social support needed to combat the stress of racism
• Identify effective strategies to combat racism over the long term
• Push back against racism and be a force for change

Racism makes people question their reality. With this protocol, you can ensure clients feel seen and heard, helping them survive, heal, and thrive in a society where the odds are stacked against them.
