An Exciting Challenge
As counselor, your knowledge or ignorance of a client’s multiple oppressions will expand or limit your ability to counsel the client well.
It is human to be curious about each other. We need to learn the history of the various oppressions which groups of people in our world endure. We need to become familiar with the way these oppressions operate and the harm they do. We need to persist against any present lack of information (and the widespread misinformation in our cultures) to become well-informed.
We can each take on the exciting challenge of learning about all the peoples of the world, both their triumphs and their struggles.
