Micro-aggressions are subtle, often unintentional comments or actions that convey prejudice or discrimination towards marginalised groups. They can manifest as assumptions about a person’s abilities based on their race, gender, or ethnicity, or as dismissive remarks about their experiences. These experiences can lead to feelings of invalidation, anxiety, depression, and diminished self-esteem. Over time, they can contribute to a negative impact on a client’s overall mental health and well-being.
