Confronting Systemic Racism and Healing Racial Trauma with David Archer, MSW, MFT

Mentally in Pajama's

By far this is one of the most interesting and informative conversations I've encountered. We discuss how racism has played a major role in the Black Community and has caused racial trauma, stress, PTSD, but he also gives you the flip side of the coin. HEALING & OVERCOMING! I'll advise you to listen to interview in its entirety and by all means purchase his books.  

David Archer, MSW, MFT, is an anti-racist psychotherapist from Montreal, Canada. Anti-Racist Psychotherapy is an approach designed to clarify the mental health effects of racism and provide a neuroscience-informed approach to resolve racial trauma. His areas of interest relate to working with individuals who have suffered from PTSD, racial trauma, minority stress, addictions, and eating disorders. Mr. Archer is an ally of LGBTQ, Black, Indigenous, and oppressed people of color around the world. 

His Books Include: Anti-Racist Psychotherapy: Confronting Systemic Racism and Healing Racial Trauma and 

Black Meditation: Ten Practices for Self-Care, Mindfulness, and Self-Determination, which can be purchased on all major platforms.
