This training film explores the unique challenges of providing therapy to progressive activists and the knowledge and skills that are required create "safe enough space" for processing and healing. This session engages an African American activist who is dealing with the personal and political impact of the political shifts and the fear of losing political ground in her movement work in the aftermath of the 2016 Election. The client explores her emotional reactions of grief, anxiety and "activist fatigue." The therapist demonstrates the use of Power-based Therapy with her to name her experiences, honor her emotional responses, reduce isolation and connect with family and fellow activists for emotional and political support. The film seeks to build clinician confidence in exploring political issues in clinical setting and understanding the context of activists who must negotiate life challenges with the added complexity of centering their lives on social change.

All too often, the public face of military veterans is white and male and this can present challenges for women, and especially women of color, who have served in the military and returned home with physical and emotional injuries. This session utilizes Power-Based Therapy, to assist the client in naming, analyzing, strategizing, and acting (the four core elements of Power-based Therapy as conceptualized by Vanessa Jackson, LCSW) to address the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder. The session demonstrates how narrative therapy strategies like externalization can be utilized to help understand emotional responses to triggering and wounding events and reduce the tendency to pathologize the client’s survival strategies. The session also demonstrates ways to directly address and invite deeper discussion of the ways that race and gender can be explicitly discussed to help amplify the voices and experiences of female veterans of color.
