Being able to engage in hard, uncomfortable conversations is part of being a clinician. What allows you to empathize with one client but not another? LaToya C. Smith, LPC-S joins me today to talk with us about inclusion and anti-racism in your private practice. LaToya talks about where we screw up and do it wrong when we’re trying so hard to have the “right kind” of race conversations, the undoing power of being defensive, and believing and trusting our clients of color when they talk about their experiences. From private practice and seeing clients, to group practice and managing clinicians, LaToya discusses the importance of admitting discomfort around the big conversations about white supremacy, privilege, and race, and the misleading ideology of the “safe space”. We encourage all listeners who have benefited from LaToya’s time on this podcast to contribute to her by donating to Women in Power Empowering.
