Interracial Couples Therapy: Addressing Nuance, Barriers, and Connection
"How can we honor our individual cultures while building 'our' culture together?"
In this workshop, you will
Review existing research on interracial relationships
Discuss the nuance in relationship dynamics
Learn how to gain understanding in a culturally sensitive, direct, yet empathetic manner
Clinical implications and techniques will also be provided to equip clinicians with the proper tools to facilitate meaningful and transformative conversations.
Taking a culturally sensitive lens, including sexual cultural taboos, is integral in providing inclusive sex therapy services to minority populations.
Interracial relationships consist of partners who come from different racial backgrounds, such as a Black-Asian couple or White-Latino couple.
There are many aspects to consider when treating this population, ranging from cultural background, family upbringing, values, household traditions, and sexual worldview. In interracial relationships, many nuances can lead to communication barriers, feeling misunderstood, feeling less emotionally connected, and feeling unsatisfied in their relationship and sex life.
