Therapist for racial trauma?
Is there such a thing as a therapist who specializes in sorting through issues relating to race? Someone who could help address trauma experienced in childhood in the context of being type of adult we want to be on these issues? I have read a lot of books and attended workshops on race, but think I need something one-on-one where I can talk candidly about my experiences. I should add that I am a white woman who is politically progressive.
