Racial Trauma in High Achievers

The Racial Trauma protocol for high achievers is designed to implement the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) through the intersection of high achieving adults and a culturally competent lens. The Racial Trauma Protocol for high achievers includes consideration for culturally competent resourcing, identifying oppressive negative beliefs that primarily exist in spaces where they are the minority, how racial trauma is carried and stored in the body, and processing the traumatic incidents from an individual and systemic approach. Participants will learn how to modify EMDR standard protocol to emphasize resourcing for past, current and future microaggressions as well as incidents of racial trauma. Participants will learn how to help client identify negative beliefs based on their experience with microaggressions and racial trauma as well how to implement somatic resourcing protocols as part of resourcing. Participants will learn how to use Phase 8 to prepare for continued exposure to microaggressions and racial trauma.
