Racial Trauma Recovery

Let’s call a spade a spade— racial discrimination among the black, latino or hispanic, Asian, Indigenous and first generation Americans have left traumatizing racial wounds. Racial trauma refers to the events of danger related to real or perceived experiences of racial discrimination, threats of harm and injury, and humiliating and shaming events. Moreover, with the gross televising of black men and women being shot and murdered, our nation is also experiencing vicarious trauma every time our eyes gaze upon the television. Unfortunately, the effects of racial trauma have for too long gone unaddressed by our American healthcare system. But TRC is here to change that.

Providing a therapeutic space for us to HEAL from racial trauma is an area of specialty that The Relationship Clinic offers. Treatments such as psychoeducation, individual, and group therapy are available avenues to process your own personal racial trauma. Free from minimizing, gaslighting and *misunderstanding/assumptions*—this is a safe space in which your feelings are heard and validated. Whereas many mental health and medical practitioners ignore racial wounds, we believe talking about your lived experience, as it relates to racism or being a recipient of racism in America, is not only important but a necessity for overall emotional and mental well-being.

Your story matters and our squad of therapists are ready, trained and equipped to hold the space needed for you to recover, re-center, and rediscover the resilience that is within.
