- What is the impact of our training on how we see the world?
- What are some of the limitations and strengths of our training
- What biases have been introduced to us through our training?
We will also discuss the worldviews inherent in theories, how western white biases have influenced our thinking and therapeutic approaches, and how we might expand our worldview given the inherent limitations therein.
