Not all black therapists are created equal and you won’t connect with every therapist simply because they’re black . I didn’t quite connect with the only black therapist at my med school no matter how hard I tried so I stopped therapy all together until I had a crisis and scheduled an emergency session with a non- black therapist( the black therapist wasn’t available). I ended up absolutely loving this new lady and formed more of a connection with her than any of my previous therapists . She is very culturally aware and was the first to approach a lot of issues regarding race and being a BW that I was afraid to bring up . This isn’t even an attempt to cape for non - black people , I just don’t want my people to suffer in silence because unfortunately there’s a shortage of professionals who look like us . -- source link
