Meet Tracy (Aka: TheBadIndianTherapist - on Instagram)! She is the "bad Indian you've been warned about." Tracy is a mental health clinician, licensed in New York, California, and Florida. On this episode, she discussed her career, her parents (somewhat) acceptance of her desired path in life, and her passion to dismantle white supremacy in her work with South Asian clients. I am so excited to have interviewed her, and I am thrilled that you all get to listen to her! This is a good one. I promise! Here are some key takeaways:Your family may not agree with your career choice. Surround yourself with those that love the field as much as you do. The hope is that your family does see the value of the profession, and will come around.Your job as a therapist doesn't stop at seeing clients. You need to educate yourself on what's happening around the world that may be impacting your clients.You need to live by your ethical code, and strive for a more just society. It's not just words, it's through your actions, too.No one cares about how fancy your website is, how you look, whether or not you use big words, etc. Your clients will see right through that. Don't let the superficial stuff, keep you from making an impact in the lives of your clients.
