Working with Identity Based Trauma: Video Course
Working with Identity Based Trauma: Video Course
Just like a jigsaw puzzle, a person’s identity is composed of a number of intersectional elements or identity categories (Crenshaw, 1991), including gender, sexuality, religious background and ethnicity. While these are parts that an individual does not choose – these can prove to be challenging and anxiety-provoking when who we are is conceptualized by others / society as inadequate, problematic or in some way defective.

Full course information
Having identities that are problematized by others can create a feeling of discomfort about one’s self-perception – a condition that has been described as Identity Based Trauma (IBT). IBT can be experienced by anyone holding a salient (visible or invisible) trait that makes them a minority and for which they may experience discrimination, shaming and / or alienation.
Through examples and case vignettes, this intellectually stimulating seminar explains both theoretical and practical approaches for working with Identity Based Trauma. By looking at specific examples of individuals belonging to gender and sexual minorities, the seminar explores:
- How do we comprehend the societal structures that set the foundations of IBT and, by extension, internalised transphobia and homophobia
- The mechanics of IBT: how does it originate, what does it feel like? How do we make sense of its relation to self-esteem, self-loathing, social anxiety and attachment styles?
- What are the therapeutic pathways we need to follow to allow our clients gain authenticity without shame – the webinar specifically discusses 3rd wave cognitive behavioural therapy models like Compassion Focused Therapy (Gilbert, 2010) as well as somatic techniques
Overall, the seminar is aimed at not just enhancing our comprehension of IBT as therapists, but also equipping us with practical tools for working with IBT and its co-constructs.
