 At a moment of expanding awareness and increasing constraint, clinicians are more attuned than ever to the potential for harm in the therapy room—yet many feel uncertain about how to respond when identity, power, and politics arise in session.

In this episode, we explore cultural humility as a clinical stance, not a buzzword:

• What it means to practice with ongoing self-reflection, accountability, and repair
• How to navigate backlash, polarization, and institutional limits
• How to adapt evidence-based treatments through a culturally humble lens
• What it looks like to redistribute power, mitigate harm, and stay present when the work feels risky

Our guest is Dr. Lauren Wadsworth, clinical psychologist, consultant, and co-founder of Twin Stars Diversity Trainers. Dr. Wadsworth brings deep clinical experience and a justice-oriented lens to the nuanced terrain where identity and therapy intersect.

Whether you’re a seasoned clinician or in training, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about identity, power, harm, and ethics in everyday practice.
