So pleased to be able to bring my workshop - Working withIN diversity - to another cohort of counsellors. Exploring identity, intersectionality, power, privilege & oppression. #workingwithindiversity #intersectionality #counselling
Exploring positions of oppression and power. Something which exists in the counselling/therapeutic professions & practice. Can be experienced as microaggressions, criticising or dismissing an 'other's' experiences, work, success, projects or progress. Professional envy is real!
Our afternoon discussion - what impact do you think #intersectionality might have on the counselling process, therapeutic relationship and presenting problem? #counselling #identity
We also need to be honest of how power & privilege exists within the profession aswell. Envy and envious attacks are a way to oppress, dismiss, minimise and destroy the success, achievements and work of others. Privilege in action.
The profession and clincial practice doesn't exist in a vacuum. The same power dynamics that exist 'out there' are also 'in here'. They are in professional relationships between membership bodies-members, between supervisor-supervisee, between client-counsellor.
