Have you ever wondered what it takes to heal from racial trauma? In this episode of Radical Remembering, I sit down with David Archer, an anti-racist psychotherapist based in Montreal, Canada. We explore his journey as a psychotherapist, his approach to healing racial trauma, and why he identifies as an anti-racist psychotherapist.
David shares insights from his book, Anti-Racist Psychotherapy: Confronting Systemic Racism and Healing Racial Trauma, and discusses how trauma processing techniques like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can be used to heal from racialized experiences.
Throughout our conversation, David emphasizes the importance of recognizing and unlearning the negative beliefs we've internalized through media and educational experiences. Healing, he reminds us, is not a final destination but an ongoing process—a daily practice of liberation that requires constant nurturing and self-awareness.
Radical Remembering is a podcast that covers liberation, personal growth, self-awareness and awareness of topics at the intersection of mental health, spirituality and self-help. Each episode will leave you with intimate knowledge of the liberation process, sprinkle a little healing magic, and leave you with wisdom for your journey. Stay tuned for the next episode.
