This week, you will create a cultural portrait in PowerPoint. This Cultural Portrait will define who you are and how these “parts of self” might play a role in the work that you do. Your presentation will address the following themes:

• Who you are…
• Your intersecting identities.
  • What these identities mean to you.
  • How others (clients) may view these identities.
  • How you envision these identities as part of your work as a therapist (positive and negative elements of these identities).
• A discussion on your own background or experiences that you feel might play a role in countertransference or reactivity with some clients.
• Your experience with empathy and compassion fatigue (and ways you feel you could minimize compassion fatigue).
• Strengths and weaknesses that you have that might play a role in your future work as a therapist.

Note: Feel free to be creative with this project. You are welcome to enter pictures, art, or music to fully represent yourself.

Length: 10-12 slides
