Visit our website for events, trainings and Forums: www.baatn.org.uk In this podcast I'm in conversation with therapists Bea Millar and Suzanne Keys who sent out an invitation to other white therapists for a gathering entitled 'Examining Whiteness, White Identity and Racism. They decided to offer this workshop because they realised that the unexamined thoughts and feelings about being white in a racist society creates obstacles to open and healing dialogues with people of colour and is slowing down the process of ending racism. They believe that white people need to take responsibility for working through these feelings with each other, in order to bring themselves more fully into relationship with people of colour and get on with the work of eliminating racism. We will be talking about their personal process in getting to the point of making this group a reality as well as the responses they received from others along the way.

Visit our website for events, trainings and Forums: www.baatn.org.uk There are many conversations happening about the psychological impact of racial bias and identity within the field of psychotherapy. There is however still much to do, as the worry about the race conversation is ever present. This episode of the 'Black and Asian Therapist Podcast' reflects on the experiences of BME students on Euro-American therapy training courses. The podcast also explores how therapy-training organisations might be supported to better facilitate these students to both explore their racial identity whilst they train and still get through the training programme.
