Summary:

"Christopher may simply appear to be what some refer to as an "angry Black man," but his lifelong struggle with trust, connection, and self-esteem have contributed to a deep sense of isolation and fear, masked by the anger and hidden beneath alcohol abuse. Significant earlier life stressors, including parental divorce and difficulty adjusting to the racial and social challenges in school, the military, and workforce ,have wounded him. Angry, depressed, and lacking direction, Christopher's is a narrative of insecurity, self-doubt, and oppression. We meet him at this pivotal juncture in his life ready to take a closer and more painful and honest look at himself. Now in his thirties, newly out of a long-term and unhealthy relationship and reflecting on his career, Chad is trying to solidify his identity in the shadow of family of origin experiences and a lifelong struggle with racism and invisibility. His tenuous sense of self reflects the fragile balance between being raised as a Jehovah's Witness, being Black, feeling developmentally out of step with peers, and being gay. We join him and Tovar-Murray as they unpack the painful legacy of societal racism and his early experiences to create pathways forward for him at work, in relationship, and in his Black body. Glimpses into their unique therapeutic experiences will focus on: Working with Anger; When Anger Masks Fear; What Does it Mean to be Black?; Managing Multiple Identities; Identity and the Outside World; Religion and the African American Community; Challenges In the Workplace; Walking Around in a Black Body; Staying Out of the Spotlight; The Good Enough Self; Being Fully Present; Talking About Racism"-- Supplied by publisher
