  • Managing Micro-Aggressions in the Workplace

    “I don’t see color,” say many people about their co-workers.


    “You are so articulate.”


    “Is that your real hair?”


    Microaggressive comments might be said without malicious intent, but they have an impact on the receiver. Therapist Nicole Glover speaks with Andy Dean about how she coaches her clients to respond to micro aggressions in the workplace, using the skills of DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy. Plus, they discuss why receiving microaggression is exhausting.


    Nicole Glover, LPC, LCADC, is clinical manager of the Women’s Program at Princeton House Behavioral Health and owner of Restoring Pieces, a private practice serving primarily people of color.
