Episode 459: April Harter. Racism and Trauma

Today I’m joined by April Harter who has made it her mission to help people understand where their racism is originating from. As a community and as a world we find ourselves in incredibly tense times, and yet times which are also creating opportunities for cultural and societal awareness around the topic of equality and racism. This episode is hopefully a small drop of water in that ocean. This episode is sponsored by Trauma Therapist | 2.0 , an online community specifically dedicated to new trauma therapists.

She later moved to Colorado and started her private practice to serve QTPOC patients with a history of racial trauma. After having worked with QTPOC, she decided to help prevent racism in society by working with white clients as a coach using the Racist Signature Theory ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ABbL6LVl0U&t=7s ). Finally, she opened up the Racism Recovery Center to provide psychotherapy for the treatment of racism. *In This Episode* * Racism Recovery Center ( https://aprilharter.com/?fbclid=IwAR1tY7r0OdeNRhX7xuq7FpVqWS1fYNzQfCm6zKQ9VQFCckFJ3nRYjIbCSGA ) * April on Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/rrecoverycenter/ ) * Robin DiAngelo, PhD ( https://robindiangelo.com/about-me/ ) * Darlene Lancer, JD, MFT ( https://darlenelancer.com/ ) * Cynthia Wall, LCSW ( https://www.cynthiawall.com/ ) * White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0807047414/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wescoatrapro-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0807047414&linkId=b5fcdb5660682c3cb3a7018e52b6e03d ) , Robin DiAngela Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-trauma-therapist-podcast-with-guy-macpherson-phd-inspiring-interviews-with-thought-leaders-in-the-field-of-trauma/donations Want to advertise on this podcast?
