All trauma is not the same...I don't know how everybody within my community even feels, let alone other communities.
Imagine being a therapist who not only helps clients navigate racial trauma but also experiences it firsthand. That's the reality for Sherrae Lachhu, LMFT, who joins Matt Shedd on 'Finding Help: Therapy, Recovery, & Community'. Based in Huntersville, North Carolina, Sherrae specializes in making therapy accessible to BIPOC individuals and brings a unique perspective to her practice. In this episode, she shares her insights on cultural humility, emphasizing the importance of understanding each client's unique background.
Sherrae believes that while she knows trauma and oppression, she doesn't presume to know everyone's individual experiences, even within her own community. This humility is key to her approach in therapy. Sherrae also discusses the groundwork therapy can lay for people to understand themselves better and live meaningful lives they don't feel the need to escape from. She highlights the stigma surrounding mental health in communities of color and shares her own journey of self-acceptance.
If you're curious about how therapists can truly connect with clients from diverse backgrounds or want to understand more about the impact of systemic oppression on mental health, this episode is a must-listen. Sherrae's candid conversation with Matt sheds light on the challenges and rewards of her work, offering a compassionate look at the healing power of therapy and community.
