Description
There are several unique historical and cultural considerations that impact clinical work with Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) clients, particularly around intergenerational trauma. It’s important to become aware of the socioenvironmental factors that may impact their experience. In this session, we present a culturally responsive integrative approach, using family systems, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques, that can help AAPI clients manage symptoms of intergenerational trauma, develop emotional literacy and increase awareness and acceptance of their intersectional identities. You’ll discover how to:
- Recognize and address subtle ways that historical factors impact AAPI clients’ attachment and attunement
- Explore racial identity without inadvertently perpetuating the shame or neglect stemming from a clients’ intergenerational trauma
- Facilitate culturally relevant clinical conversations in session
- Increase your own competency and comfort discussing the impact of race, ethnicity, and other aspects of privilege and oppression within a session
