Disclosing racial trauma in psychological therapy: Exploring the experiences of racially minoritised people in the <scp>UK</scp>
Therapists, regardless of racial heritage, have the potential to both perpetuate harm and provide meaningful support in response to disclosures of racial trauma. Racial reflexivity and education on racism and racial trauma are essential to ethical and antiracist therapeutic practice, and crucial to safeguarding racially minoritised clients from racial harm in therapy. These must be embedded in training, practice and policy for meaningful improvements in racially minoritised clients' experiences of therapy to occur.
