As therapists, many of us strive to be inclusive and affirming—but the truth is, we’ve all internalized messages from a world shaped by racism, sexism, homophobia, fatphobia, and other systems of oppression. These messages don’t disappear at the therapy room door. In this workshop, Tasha Hunter, LCSW, invites participants into a reflective, non-shaming space to explore how implicit bias shows up in clinical work—and what we can do to repair and reconnect when it does.
Through the lens of trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and lived experience, Tasha Hunter guides participants in identifying subtle ways bias can emerge—through language, tone, assumptions, and silence. This is not about getting it perfect—it’s about staying present, being accountable, and returning to a relationship when harm has occurred. Participants will leave with greater awareness, practical strategies, and the courage to keep showing up with humility and care.
