In addition, the cumulative impact of microaggressions has been found to contribute to negative mental health outcomes including anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation. As therapists and/or therapists-in-training it is important to become aware of one’s own biases and assumptions about individuals across a variety of racial cultural groups.This video featuring Dr. Gina Torino demonstrates a variety of microaggressions that revolve around race, culture, gender, and sexual identity. Viewers will watch 12 different role plays that demonstrate therapists committing a microaggressions during a therapeutic encounter. A debriefing follows each role play to further analyze what has occurred and the message conveyed to the client.
