dc.description.abstractThe aftermath of the incarceration of and colonial and racial harm to Japanese Canadians in 1942 is wounding, generations later. This paper will offer ways to address intergenerational trauma in the Japanese Canadian community from a counselling field perspective using a liberation psychotherapy approach, community conversations, and autoethnobiographical story. A main assumption of this paper is that the ongoing harms of colonialism and colonial approaches to therapy is doing a disservice to the practice of therapy with racialized populations (immigrant, diasporic, mixed-race) and its practitioners. Furthermore, decolonizing a practitioner’s approach to therapy is imperative to work alongside those who experience colonial and racial trauma. This paper also emphasizes how Land-based healing is central to countering the impacts of racial and colonial trauma, spotlighting the work alongside the pre-WWII immigrant-settler identities of Japanese Canadians.
