The article explores how childhood experiences shape self-esteem through adulthood, particularly in the context of intersectional identities including transgender, biracial, and immigrant backgrounds. It highlights the lack of research addressing these complex intersections within psychotherapy. Xi Liu, a Chinese-Australian clinical psychologist, and Saria Green, a biracial Tanzanian-Australian therapist, are pioneering new forms of therapy through their project 'In Session,' which merges psychotherapy with live theater, challenging traditional therapeutic structures and expanding the definition of therapy to embrace diverse identities and experiences.
For Xi and Saria, it helped them see the future of therapy.
New generations of therapists are radically expanding the definition of therapy.
'In Session: Psychotherapy in Play' transformed improvised intersectional psychotherapy sessions into live theater.
There is precious little research… addressing intersectionality in identity.
