Marginalization and oppression refer to the systemic and societal forces that push certain groups to the fringes of society, denying them equal access to resources, rights, and opportunities. This can manifest in various forms, including racism, sexism, ableism, and economic disadvantages. In therapy, we create a safe and inclusive space for individuals to explore their experiences with marginalization. By understanding the impact of these societal forces on their mental health, clients can begin to process their feelings of isolation, frustration, and hopelessness.Through talk therapy, we focus on empowering clients by validating their experiences and fostering resilience. We employ skill-building techniques that help individuals develop coping strategies, assertiveness, and self-advocacy skills. This holistic approach not only addresses the emotional toll of marginalization but also equips clients with the tools needed to navigate and challenge oppressive systems in their daily lives.
