TW As a blk woman who’s in therapy, I feel bad because I chose a white therapist over a Black therapist. The reason being is I always had Black therapists, and they were always on my mom’s side. They condoned the abuse, so I didn’t want that again.

unsolicited opinion; i don’t think you should feel bad. if you have personal history, then you were making the best choice that you could in order to feel safe feeling vulnerable - there is something to be said for that! in time, maybe you will be able to heal that part of you and see a black therapist if it becomes more important to you. otherwise, focus on doing the work with whomever makes you feel the most comfortable now ❤️
