Unconscious bias pervades every area of our lives. This can have a profound effect on the relationship we have with others inside and outside the therapy room. You are invited to begin a ‘quest of awareness’ to see how this process relates to the issues of ethnicity and privilege.

• To be more aware of your personal (or potential) bias and to be able to think more clearly about your process.
• To take away some tools to support you as you begin to think more critically about the inherent bias in therapeutic models
• To identify your own learning edges in moving forward.
