I agree with you that social media has become a major outlet for information, exploration, and disclosure of thoughts. There are filters available that can block some of the hurtful content; however, it will not block all. One solution is working backwards from the answer. For example if the desired outcome is no negative content then, the solution could be avoidance of social media platforms. Another approach is means-end analysis where the client evaluates the desired outcome with the path taken (Landrum, 2023). The patient gravitates towards the most meaningful option. Using social media can be a great way to explore yourself and others. It can be an opportunity to ask questions and find answers. The risk with this approach is finding the truth in the client’s searches along with the racialized opinions of others. The therapist can play a large role in directing the client towards credible resources that are not offensive where they can be informed rather than gaining knowledge from the opinions of others. Being properly informed will help shape their identity creating a sense of belonging (Wong, 2018). Is there more that can be done on social media to increase inclusion? References Landrum, R. E.
