Racial identity is the psychological connection we have with our race; its resolution process occurs for everyone, regardless of one’s identified race. In our race-conscious society, racial identity is experienced as a multifaceted and important aspect of our identity that may or may not be aligned with other aspects of how we manifest ourselves in the world.
To that end, this workshop explores the racial identity development process from a Gestalt perspective. We’ll explore how it shows up in our lived experience and its implication for bringing our full and authentic selves to environments. We’ll discuss tools for navigating belonging, managing racial stress, and individuating in a racially complex society with implications for therapy practice.
Participants are encouraged to take the Racial Identity Status Self-Assessment (RISSA). Please note that this assessment tool is U.S. based, and questions or statement that refer to America or American identity can be replaced with U.K.
We will learn and grow together as we discern similarities and differences in race expression and racial identity.
Workshop Objectives:
Understand race from a Gestalt relational framework and its manifestations in therapy practice.
Explain how our brains form prejudices and processes differences.
Explain racial identity resolution process and its developmental statuses from a Gestalt perspective
Analyze the interplay of multiple and intersecting identities at various levels of human system: intrapsychic, interpersonal, group, organization, and society.
