The purpose of this paper is to apply a Black feminist and intersectionality lens to research, practice, and advocacy on Black women’s experiences of gendered racism. First, this paper will provide a brief herstory of Black feminist, womanist, and intersectionality theory and its relevance to the field of psychology. Next, we will highlight an example of how to apply a Black feminist and intersectionality lens to research on gendered racism among Black women. Then, we will apply Black feminism to therapy with Black women by highlighting a clinical case example. We will end by highlighting the importance of Black feminism to social justice advocacy and systems-level interventions to promote the health and well-being of Black women.Keywords: Black feminismintersectionalitygendered racismBlack womenfeminist therapy Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The name, identifying information, and content of the clinical case have been de-identified and disguised for the purpose of this paper.","PeriodicalId":46696,"journal":{"name":"Women & Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135038307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The combined effect of gendered racism and intergenerational trauma amplify Black women’s health experiences. Healing these diseases by addressing the emotional root causes is critical. An imbalance of emotions like fear, withdrawal, apathy, listlessness, disgust, frustration, rage, anxiety, inferiority, submission, and bewilderment can manifest as physical representations of depression, anxiety, and other chronic health conditions. Heal the emotion(s), heal the disease(s) is a common approach found in Indigenous, African, and Chinese sciences, medicines, and ways of knowing. Black women experience gendered racism and intergenerational trauma due to the historical, ongoing, and contemporary daily trauma of living as a Black woman in the Americas. Navigating these oppressions in addition to other general stressors creates a need for an accessible tool designed to address and combat these emotional difficulties for Black women’s mental, emotional, and physical health. This explanatory mechanism of emotions and their inextricable linkages to physical representations of illness/disease provides a lens for understanding how to address the effects of chronic health inequities. Implications for community intervention, dissemination and research are discussed.Keywords: Black womenhealingwritingemotional and mental healthmethodology Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The terms “sister” and “sistah” are used interchangeably throughout the manuscript.

However, limited research explicates how to assess, conceptualize, and treat intersectional racial trauma in clinical practice. Practicing psychologists seeking to integrate science and practice for mental health and social justice breakthroughs desire innovative clinical models to facilitate this work. This paper presents a case study of a week-long, intensive teletherapy retreat to treat the intersectional racial trauma of a queer, middle-aged, Black cisgender woman. We detail theories and research regarding racial trauma and intersectionality and present the integrated How to Love a Human model. Then, we describe the client’s presenting concerns and how to assess and conceptualize intersectional racial trauma to inform a multifaceted, collectivistic treatment approach. Last, we chronologically overview each day of the retreat and address how our healing approach can serve as a research framework and clinical example to treat intersectional racial trauma among Black women.PUBLIC SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTRacial trauma is a painful reality for many Black women, with other intersecting forms of oppression exacerbating the impact. This paper describes how four Black women provided therapy through an innovative, collectivist model for a queer Black woman experiencing intersectional racial trauma.Keywords: Racial traumamental healthblack womenintersectionalitycase study AcknowledgementThe authors thank the client for her permission to share this story and the healing process.Notes1 Client provided permission to publish this case study using some identifying information for accurate context.

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was murdered by Minneapolis Police officer, Derek Chauvin. Chauvin was seen kneeling on Mr. Floyd’s neck while he was on the ground for approximately nine minutes. In this article, the authors briefly examine the history of political activism in the United States, the impact of riots on policy change and mobilization, as well as the mental health outcomes of activism. Through an autoethnographic account of a traumatic arrest of the first author who was arrested during the protests following the murder of George Floyd, the first author reveals the power of healing through community activism. This work contributes to intellectual literature as it examines the overall benefits of activism, suggesting that participating in activism as a form of self-advocacy and self-care is a key component of collective healing and liberation. In addition, in order to sustain one’s mental health while engaged in activism, the authors share a few methods of self-care that can be used by Black people, Indigenous people, and other People of Color (BIPOC). Methodologically, it demonstrates the usefulness of autoethnography for scholars across a myriad of disciplines.","PeriodicalId":46696,"journal":{"name":"Women & Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139324630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
