Abstract: There is an increasing number of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) individuals who engage in mental health services seeking providers with shared identities. While this has proven beneficial for relationship building, it has challenges. During the COVID-19 pandemic, BIPOC therapists treating clients with shared identities faced increased vulnerability to both direct and secondary trauma. To avoid any implications of injury to the therapeutic process, BIPOC therapists must maintain a low risk of harm and overidentification, and enhance their self-care practices. This article examines the significance of intersectional, racial trauma and shared experiences in the therapeutic relationship. A case study will illustrate how trauma-informed supervision can foster an environment of understanding and empowerment, helping clinicians navigate their own experiences while providing adequate care to their clients. This article aims to highlight the importance of trauma-informed care in providing culturally affirming supervision concerning race-related stress and racial trauma, with strategies to enhance therapeutic effectiveness during the pandemic and beyond.
