An opportunity for caregivers: counselors, therapists, psychologists, and others to deepen their practice and begin the work of building embodied, anti-racist culture together, by working the materials of Resmaa Menakem.

In professional caregiving, “love” can be a four-letter word, raising the specter of inappropriate intimacy between client and caregiver, and potentially muddying the therapeutic waters. Yet, as professional therapists and counselors, we have the care of many who appear as “monsters” to themselves and others, we may be frightened into silence when that monstrousness appears, and we might feel monstrous ourselves. In this course we will dive into the love of monsters as it pertains to showing up for our clients and ourselves with authenticity, care, and discernment.
