This week my guest is Therese Kempf, who is a therapist in NYC. She specializes in working with trauma and couples, and has a unique focus in working with Racism as Trauma. Therese is also a body based therapist (Sensorimotor Psychotherapy) and helps her clients see the body as a main source of information as well as a primary channel for healing. She has also been featured in a short film called The Devolution of Love, where she is a couples therapist discussing the nuances of dating in the Tinder culture today. She was also in the Netflix film She Did That!, a film about black entrepreneurial women.
In this episode she and I discuss the different ways that racism can impact us and cause trauma - even when not directly. I invite you to this conversation as well as the discussion that follows with my co-host, Carmen. Below you can find more information on some of the topics discussed in the follow up discussion.
