ABSTRACT

This theoretical paper examines historical traumas and the impact they have on the mental health fields when working within similarities and across difference. This paper also examines racist ideologies in North America and how they are woven into the institutions and interpersonal relationships one can encounter. Traumas that are examined for the purposes of this paper are collective traumas such as Drapetomania, Tuskegee experiment/study, police brutality and the lynch laws. The use of some props in the dance/movement therapy field is examined through the lens of trauma-informed social justice care to prevent harm. There will be a theoretical model for clinicians to use to track their bias, assumptions, power, privilege, and prejudice.

Please note that traumas will be discussed in this paper, take care of yourself, these topics can be difficult to read about and revisit.
