Last spring, Shatara Sheppard offered to share her experiences with police brutality and racial profiling and how it impacted her daily life as both a clinician and as a woman of color. I’m so glad to welcome her back to the podcast to discuss healing, and the ways white therapists can keep going because the work is definitely not done. The world has changed in the few short months since Shatara’s first visit to the podcast, but it’s also stayed the same in many ways we should be aware of. Shatara shares her story of healing, and we discuss how white therapists can learn from sitting in the discomfort of hard feelings and use that discomfort to motivate their self-education. We also discuss the rhetoric we still see too commonly in agency work, and mostly, we discuss hope. If you appreciate Shatara's time on our podcast, listeners can show appreciation for her here.
