“…In the Owen et al (2014) study, those clients who discussed the microaggression with their therapist almost unanimously reported that the discussion enabled them to 'work it out' (p. 285), but it is unclear how often, or to what extent, the discussion included an apology by the therapist. Separately, a few scholars have explored the question of how to most effectively apologise after committing a microaggression, but their recommendations are general, rather than therapist-specific (Holling, Moon, & Jackson Nevis, 2014;Jackson, 2019;Thurber & DiAngelo, 2018). In fact, there is little research on therapists apologising at all, and what exists is more often theoretical than empirical (e.g., Goldberg, 1987).…”
