Veterans
Description
All too often, the public face of military veterans is white and male and this can present challenges for women, and especially women of color, who have served in the military and returned home with physical and emotional injuries. This session utilizes Power-Based Therapy, to assist the client in naming, analyzing, strategizing, and acting (the four core elements of Power-based Therapy as conceptualized by Vanessa Jackson, LCSW) to address the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder. The session demonstrates how narrative therapy strategies like externalization can be utilized to help understand emotional responses to triggering and wounding events and reduce the tendency to pathologize the client's survival strategies. The session also demonstrates ways to directly address and invite deeper discussion of the ways that race and gender can be explicitly discussed to help amplify the voices and experiences of female veterans of color.
