Despite drastically different cultural underpinnings, Hip Hop and therapy are both widely used expressive practices that serve as a form of catharsis and connection. For over half a century, Hip Hop culture has served therapeutic purposes and reached people where, historically, talk therapy has not. With roots in progressive social movements and political protest, its messages transcend geography, race, ethnicity, and class. First developed in the mid-90s by Hall’s late mentor Dr. Edgar Tyson, Hip Hop therapy (HHT) embraces Hip Hop’s capacity to facilitate personal and communal transformation, mixing the inherently cathartic components of the culture with various well established treatment modalities. In this presentation, you’ll learn about:
– The basics of HHT and how it overlaps with several well-established treatment modalities, including CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and expressive arts therapy.
– The impact of a HHT Studio program at a second chance high school in the South Bronx over the past decade.
– A trauma-informed approach to HHT, including top-down and bottom-up strategies.
– How rhythm and rhyme facilitate self-regulation, co-regulation, bilateral stimulation, and traumatic processing.

The educational goal of this workshop is to introduce Hip Hop therapy as a culturally relevant, trauma-informed approach to mental health treatment.
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
-
Describe the origins of Hip Hop culture and how its inherently cathartic elements relate to at least two forms of psychotherapy.
-
Evaluate the theoretical and practical underpinnings of Hip Hop therapy as a receptive and expressive approach to treatment.
-
Summarize the impact of a studio-based approach to Hip Hop therapy in a transfer high school setting over the course of a decade.
-
Analyze a trauma-informed approach to HHT based on the neurophysiological implications of its parallels with expressive arts therapy and EMDR.
