About
Abdullah Mia presents on Holding trauma and hope for others and ourselves in traumatising systems.
The talk will consider balancing hope for ourselves, and the people we work with and alongside when practicing clinical psychology within systems that can recreate historical power relationships.
The session will invite thinking on how to balance diverse views and experiences when working with people who have often experienced abuses of power whilst maintaining integrity in our practice.
It will explore the impact of working within cultures that can create systems of oppression, and how we may maintain our sense of self.
