Racial Trauma Recovery
Healing Our Past Using Rhythm and Processing
What This Book Covers
Racial trauma is not just personal—it’s systemic. It doesn’t just live in the mind; it rewires the nervous system, alters identity, and shapes entire communities. Traditional psychotherapy wasn’t built with us in mind. That’s why this book exists. Racial Trauma Recovery introduces Rhythm and Processing (RAP), an approach that goes beyond conventional therapy by integrating anti-racist psychotherapy, transforming complex trauma, and cultural healing practices. This book isn’t just about understanding trauma—it’s about breaking cycles of suffering and creating new pathways for resilience.
Here’s what you’ll gain:
- How systemic oppression fuels complex trauma—and why healing must address both.
- The RAP framework, a groundbreaking approach to reprocessing trauma through rhythm, movement, and collective healing.
- How therapists and individuals can integrate culturally responsive strategies for deep, lasting recovery.
A Glimpse Inside
“The name of the integrative clinical framework that is the subject of this book is Rhythm and Processing (RAP). Rhythm refers to the collaborative interaction between client and therapist. Processing represents the transmutation of suffering into wisdom. RAP is designed to address socially constructed forms of suffering in general, but special attention is given to racial trauma in particular. RAP improves well-being by utilizing highly effective therapeutic interventions (or strategies) from different modalities. The goal is to empower all trauma survivors who come from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and identities.” (Page xii)
