"The Pain of My Skin" - Racism and Therapy for People of African Origins
Manage episode 317758984 series 3156289
It was after I finished reading Reni Eddo-Lodge's book "Why I'm no longer talking to white people about race" did it dawn to me to ask the question what happens with an African person suffers depression or burnout as a result of experiencing racism, who do they go to for counseling...white therapist? Can the white therapist relate to how their patient is feeling? Can they understand how it feels like to be permanently exposed to racism without any chance of escape?
I'm hoping to get your opinions because I think this is a very important gap that needs to be addressed especially here in Germany.
