This world can be a challenge when systems we live in do not support how we show up based on race and gender identity. Being an effective therapist to help individuals navigate such a system requires that we create a space to hold our biases, consult, and help clients stay the course with their goals. In this episode, Dr. Wilson discusses her work implementing systems thinking and you can hear about several important steps to consider at the therapist level and in implementing culturally informed cognitive behavioral therapy.
