A 6-Session Experiential Group for Clinicians
Exploring Our
White Racialized Identities
A space for clinicians to examine how racial identity and history shape our clinical work — and our lives.
About the Group
Through a psychoanalytic lens, participants will explore how they have been socialized to understand their own identities and their relationships with people of different identities. The group attends to the complexity and intersectionality of white racialized identity — not whiteness as a monolith. We will encourage participants to explore their own racialized histories and how they impact relationships with themselves and others across identities.
This one-and-a-half-hour experiential process group meets every other week, for a total of six sessions. There will be readings, but sessions are experience-near. This is a space for reflection and discussion. We will discuss clinical experiences and cases as well.
