Summary:

"Christopher has struggled all his life to fit in-first at school, then in the military, and most recently in relationships and in the workforce. Angry, depressed, and having turned to alcohol to regulate himself, he feels vulnerable, isolated, and without direction despite his immediate family ties and proud ancestry. Carver presents primarily with issues in his relationships with women-both his current partner and his ex-girlfriend, with whom he has a child. Underneath his sadness and frustration are the residual effects of having an absent father and his difficulty feeling anger about this. When we first meet him, he reminds us that as a Black man, 'self-preservation is the first order of law-if that means being on guard 24/7, then the answer is yes, but that is the burden, and it's very heavy to carry that.' Chad is freshly out of a long-term relationship, unemployed, struggling with insecurity and self-doubt, and trying to balance a complex identity comprised of being gay, raised as a Jehovah's witness, and Black. When we first meet him, he tells us what it is like to feel invisible and asks us to consider that 'if to be present is to be threatening as a Black person, then you're getting all these signals around that you're threatening, to the point where you've now got a literal target on your back and can be killed because of it, and that's really hard to digest.' Glimpses into their unique therapeutic experiences will focus on: Racism, Microaggressions, Identity Issues, Impacts of Slavery, Mistrust of Helping Professionals, Creating Safety by Going into their World"-- Supplied by publisher
