The Physiological and Psychological Impact of Race-Based Trauma: Implications for Counselor Education
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The area of trauma has been well researched within counseling literature; however, discussions around race-based trauma have been proportionately minimal. Given the physiological, psychological, and behavioral impacts of race-based trauma it is imperative that counselors and counselor educators are equipped to broach and address client's experiences. Therefore, this article provides a review of race-based trauma literature and models. In addition, this article calls counseling professionals to action on exploring and addressing their own attitudes, beliefs, and biases, along with informing clinicians on how to advocate for people of color and translate their knowledge into their work.
