Send us a Text Message.How can therapists provide more culturally attuned care? That's the central question we tackle in this episode on multicultural competency in therapy. We promise you'll come away with actionable insights for adapting your therapeutic approach to better align with your clients' unique cultural backgrounds. We delve into the case of Seo Joon, a first-generation Korean-American who struggles with the competing demands of his family's traditional values and his desire for independence. By understanding the collectivistic nature of Korean culture, the concept of filial piety, and the significance of education and professional success, therapists can create more effective and respectful treatment plans.We also turn the mirror on ourselves, examining how our own cultural biases and assumptions can impact our work. Understanding values like family, individuality, and success from different cultural perspectives is crucial for building trust and fostering a supportive therapeutic environment. We'll share practical steps you can take, such as consulting with colleagues, reading relevant literature, and immersing yourself in cultural events. By inviting clients to educate us about their cultural backgrounds, we foster a more inclusive and empathetic practice. Join us as we explore how to make our therapeutic practices more culturally competent and enrich the lives of those we serve.If you need to study for your national licensing exam, try the free samplers at: LicensureExamsThis podcast is not associated with the NBCC, AMFTRB, ASW, ANCC, NASP, NAADAC, CCMC, NCPG, CRCC, or any state or governmental agency responsible for licensure.

So let's be honest. Doing a podcast about something as politically charged and divisive as critical race theory feels a bit risky. But it's also the reason conversations like this one with Ed Uszynski, author of Untangling Critical Race Theory: What Christians Need to Know and Why It Matters, are so important. As people who are doing our best to follow Jesus in a complex world, we need safe spaces to explore and understand complicated ideas without having them hijacked by media pundits or 30-second sound bites. When I first prepped for this episode, my idea was to do a deep dive into the nuts and bolts of CRT (which, btw, Ed spends 7 chapters unpacking in the book. I learned a TON about it's origins, what it does and doesn't mean and why it matters to the church), but as with any podcast, conversations have a way of taking on a life of their own. While Ed and I do talk about critical race theory, what we spend more time talking about is some of the broader questions it causes us to consider like our country's racial history, systemic v. individual racism, our own defensiveness in conversations about race, cross cultural competency, ethnic indifference and the importance of listening and learning from those who are different from us.Ed has been a trusted friend and voice in my life for more than 20 years. You'll hear that in the podcast, but you'll also hear how God has been weaving together his own story in a way that has uniquely prepared him for such a time as this. No matter where you find yourself in your own journey, I hope you'll listen in as we continue to learn and grow together.

“Respect is earned. Honesty is appreciated. Trust is gained. Loyalty is returned.”— Oscar Auliq Ice - quoted on Savimbo websiteIn this pivotal episode, we journey with Drea Burbank from the depths of a fundamentalist Mormon cult to the rainforests of the Colombian Amazon. Drea's life story, chronicled in her book "Shaman Gurl" (linked in the show notes), is a testament to human resilience and the quest for truth. From her escape over the mountains, through the fiery trials of being a firefighter, to her awakening during medical school, Drea's path has been anything but conventional.Now, as a co-founder of Savimbo, Drea is part of an extraordinary mission: to introduce a human rights code for nature. With the support of 60 indigenous leaders from across the globe, she is leading the charge to bring legislation to the UN that enshrines the rights of nature into law. This episode is an urgent call to recognize the voice of nature and the indigenous custodians who have preserved 30% of the planet's intact land and 80% of its biodiversity.Drea's conversation is a revelation of the indigenous perspective on ecotourism, cultural competency, and the necessity of a post-colonial lifestyle. She shares the transformative impact of ecotourism training programs and the importance of creating safe spaces for spiritual awakening in a world that often suppresses regrowth. As she and her colleagues prepare to share their vision with the world through a series of powerful videos, we invite you to become bridges for this crucial movement. Follow Savimbo across social media platforms, amplify the voices of these indigenous leaders, and help turn the tide towards a future where the rights of nature are not just recognized but revered.For those who are ready to be part of this monumental shift, to stand with the guardians of our planet's remaining wilderness, this episode is an essential listen. Join us as we explore the profound connections between human healing and planetary health, where the fight for nature's rights is a fight for our collective future.We were speaking on a starlink and we lost the connection several times so I apologise in advance for any glitches in the conversation, but this was solid gold and I wasn't going to let minor issues of technology get in the way of your hearing it.

You've joined us for a very special episode! Our team at Carolina did some research and pulled together leaders from the Nursing Institute for Healthcare Design (NIHD) to discuss how clinicians and designers are partnering to create better healthcare environments. We also discuss the impact of spaces on burnout, emerging research, and new opportunities for clinicians interested in healthcare design.So, how can we integrate clinicians into the design process? It starts at the beginning. One common mistake is bringing clinicians in when it's "too late." Including nurses and clinicians early in the process ultimately saves money in the long run. Designing a space correctly from the start is much cheaper than redesigning spaces later.Another issue that can be solved by design is clinician burnout. Providing quiet spaces for respite, incorporating nature into stairwells, and using daylighting inside are all examples of needed design solutions to help clinicians combat burnout. Spaces affect emotions more than you know and there's research to prove it. In this episode, we talk about the innovative approaches like AI and biometrics that are being used to understand spaces and how they affect you. If you're a clinician and you want to get involved, start now. Whether the project is big or small, get involved and contribute your voice in any way you can. There's more and more potential for new careers that blend nursing and design. NIHD is passionate about its mission and committed to advocating for clinical input in healthcare design.Learn more about NIHD and Carolina.Watch the full video.Meet our guests below:Elizabeth Johnson, Montana State UniversityAnthony Mistretta, Perkins+WillKristina Krail, Krail AdvisoryLynn Aguilera, Stanford Medicine Children's HealthFollow Doug on LinkedIn.Click here to get your FREE copy of the Imagine a Place journalFollow Imagine a Place on LinkedIn.

So let's talk about Senator Mitch McConnell... Why is it important to be a person of cultural competence? In case you didn't hear about it, Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Aniston recently got themselves caught up in issues concerning matters of antisemitism. This is for the ‘fake friends' post of Foxx, which received quite a huge amount of backlash. Calling it antisemitic, people threw accusations for they claim Foxx pertained to people of the Jewish background. This very circumstance is the reason why we're going to discuss cultural competence and its significance. Both as a physician and as an individual, I believe that being culturally competent is of utmost importance for not only do we become more open and understanding; but it also prevents having a clash. Tune in as we talk about this on this week's podcast. Why you need to check this episode: Understand what cultural competency means, and how people have different levels of knowledge about it, even within the same communities; Recognize the importance of being a culturally competent individual; and Discover words and phrases that people commonly use today that have significant racial undertones “As a physician, one of the things that we're taught all the time is making sure you recognize what is your patients' beliefs, what is your patients' values, because you can't have a great doctor-patient relationship if you don't acknowledge that [and] recognize the importance of it.”– Dr. Berry Pierre Notable Quotes: “I don't see how you could be a great physician and not be culturally competent.” – Dr. Berry Pierre “That clash of the doctor-patient relationship is there, and usually, it's because the cultural values aren't being addressed, met, and more importantly—respected.” – Dr. Berry Pierre “If both people were just a little bit more culturally competent, they would've recognized.” – Dr. Berry Pierre Sign up at www.listentodrberry.com  to join the mailing list.
