Voices of privilege and power dominate our profession. In this paper, we reflect on the process of writing together about racially constellated rupture and repair between Black patient/trainee and White therapist. In the project we reflect upon, the Black patient/trainee’s voice was privileged, subverting the more typical voice of the therapist. Furthermore, the project involved a collaboration between Black trainees and White trainer, raising complex issues of voice and power. We pick up on the theme of respondents to this paper concerning the possibilities and impossibilities of finding and exercising voice, as well as the theme of silence and the difficult of articulating racial power dynamics. Echoing our original aims of subverting dominant voices, we do so by each reflecting personally on our process. We suggest that, in the face of racial rupture, responses of disruption are potentially as productive as processes of repair.
