Many creative art therapists have called for a greater awareness in our profession of social injustice and have cautioned against the invisibility of social privilege: be it by race, gender, sexual orientation or any other means. They have called for institutions to be more vigilant in including awareness of the unconscious nature of such prejudices in their art therapy training programmes and they have called on individual therapists to be more self-reflective in their practices. The author offers a response to this call and self-reflects on her own practice. She uses a series of case studies with LGBTQI clients to explore how questioning dominant narratives helped her respond more effectively to her clients' needs. The author challenges the phallocentric perception of the vagina as a hole and deconstructs the active-passive power dynamic so often attributed to penetrative sex. The author wishes to demonstrate how, despite her own LGBTQI identity, as a person who grew up within a heterosexual dominant narrative, she nevertheless introjected its values: the therapist's difficulty in negotiating this narrative can limit the potential space within the setting in terms of meaning and be detrimental to the client.

许多富有创造力的艺术治疗师呼吁我们提高对社会不公职业的认识，并告诫人们不要忽视社会特权：无论是种族，性别，性取向或任何其他方式。他们呼吁机构提高警惕，在其艺术疗法培训计划中纳入对此类偏见的无意识性质的认识，并呼吁个别治疗师的实践应更加自我反省。作者对此呼吁做出了回应，并根据自己的实践进行自我反省。她通过与LGBTQI客户的一系列案例研究来探讨质疑主流叙述如何帮助她更有效地响应客户的需求。作者挑战了将阴道视为一个洞的阳具感觉，并解构了通常归因于穿透性的主动-被动力量动态。作者希望证明，尽管她拥有LGBTQI身份，但作为一个在异性恋占主导地位的叙事中长大的人，却如何引入了它的价值：治疗师在谈判该叙事时遇到的困难会在意义上限制环境中的潜在空间对客户有害。
