Abstract in brief

  • Racial microaggressions are subtle, often unintentional remarks or behaviors that communicate negative or hostile racial stereotypes toward people of color, impacting their well-being and interactions.
  • They occur in three forms: microassaults (explicit racist actions), microinsults (comments that demean someone’s racial identity), and microinvalidations (dismissals of racial experiences), which can hinder effective communication and trust.
  • In clinical settings, microaggressions can weaken the therapist-client relationship, especially in White counselor–client of color interactions, highlighting the need for improved education, training, and research to address these issues in helping professions.]
