Exploring: How a therapist's boundaries can either replicate harm or create the condition for something different to emerge, moving beyond technique to ethical, relational presence with marginalized clients experiencing systemic trauma.
We often teach boundaries as skills, but what happens when setting a boundary is not safe? What happens when we as therapists need to figure out the unique ways that we must practise our own boundaries when working with marginalized clients?
For many BIPOC and LGBTQI clients, boundaries are not simply empowering. They are complex, risky, and deeply shaped by systemic trauma. In this webinar, Akilah Riley-Richardson and Juliane Taylor Shore come together to explore how we as therapists must navigate the various categories of boundaries when supporting clients who experience systemic trauma.
This webinar features insights from the work of Juliane Taylor Shore and Akilah Riley-Richardson as they blend the understanding of systemic trauma, the BIOME framework, boundary setting and interpersonal neurobiology.
In this webinar, you will:
1. Identify how systemic trauma shapes marginalized clients’ capacity to set and hold boundaries in relational contexts
2. Determine the unique ways that therapists must use the four types of boundaries (psychological, containing, physical, and external) when working with systemic trauma
3. Apply the BIOME framework to guide boundary-based interventions with marginalized clients
This is a space for therapists who want to do the work more deeply, more responsibly, and more honestly.
