Abstract

This chapter takes the readers into the application of feminist theory to ethical gatekeeping practices within the framework of trauma-informed counselor education. Grounded in the principles of empowerment, intersectionality, and social justice, feminist theory offers a unique lens through which to understand and address ethical dilemmas in counseling. The chapter explores how feminist perspectives can inform ethical decision-making processes, particularly in the context of trauma-informed care. Through case examples, discussion questions, and reflective exercises, the chapter encourages readers to critically evaluate their own beliefs and biases, while also equipping them with tools to navigate ethical challenges with sensitivity and compassion. Ultimately, the chapter aims to inspire counselors-in-training to embrace a feminist perspective as they engage in trauma-informed gatekeeping practices, fostering ethical and culturally responsive care within the counseling profession.
