Microcultures

Abstract

The text is an experience report that describes the author's personal perceptions on the topic of microcultures. The author observes how dominant subcultures (white, heterosexual, non-disabled people, among other more socially valued attributes), benefit from a different position in the cultural hierarchy, which seems to cause a certain imbalance in the world. The author observed how her cultural identity developed in a multifaceted way. And that her diverse experiences, combined with her values, languages, customs and traditions, will certainly help her as a therapist, as well as her future clients.
