You raise a good point. And I do think it depends on the therapist and the therapeutic relationship (others may have had various experiences and want to chime in). I do believe, though, that for some knowing that their therapist shares key parts of their identity can be very important. I've...

I just wanted to send out a big THANK YOU to everyone who's helped with the study and also for all of the great conversation it's generated, which was an unexpected but very welcome byproduct of this post! I wanted to say also that we need just a few more responses in order to meet our goal...

Thank you, Lola!

It's true that there's some ambiguity to these questions. I would say answer in the way that feels most appropriate/true to you.

Sure! Cultural humility is a client or patient's perception of their treatment provider as inclusive, understanding, and welcoming toward their cultural background and beliefs, especially as those beliefs relate to treatment. According to Hook et al. (2013), who introduced the construct of...

This is not a grant funded study. It came about through discussion between myself and one of my students at UTSA about how culture may factor into trauma treatment and, as we began to read more about this, the study took shape. We have used our own time and resources and are not receiving any...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Admittedly, this is a bit of a nuanced study. As you all are well aware, trauma has been well researched for decades and there is quite a lot we already know, including some of the more prominent aspects of trauma treatment that seem effective. The study's...
