In this podcast, we are joined by Ike Odina and together we attempt to tackle race, culture and our professional practice. Ike brings his experience of being a British Citizen of Nigerian descent in a Euro-centric profession.
We address a few stereotypical perceptions as well as the effects of history on current social norms and values. We look at our institutional, organisational and individual responsibilities with regard to the improvement of our current social state of affairs.
As psychotherapeutic practitioners, we explore how our role in addressing cultural differences and social inequalities is becoming even more apparent, as we continue to provide appropriate safe spaces for people to reflect upon their life stories in relation to others and thus seek to making way for a society where authenticity paves the way to progress.
We identify that our Institutions have no clear leadership and that despite having information not available to Government we remain inconsequential to them.
Our podcast points to some possible reasons for where we are today and more helpfully suggests a direction of travel for the future.
