SAMSHA(2021) states "The following experiences can be helpful but are not sufficient to make individuals eligible or competent to provide multicultural counselling: • Having similar experiences as their clients • Being from the same race as their clients • Identifying as a member of the same ethnic heritage or cultural group as their clients • Having current or prior relationships with others from the same race or cultural background as their clients • Attending training on cultural competence"

Having similar experiences can make the counsellor able to better to relate. The counsellor is able to see and know what the person is going through. Understand the emotions that may rise and the significance of the trauma. While it does help, it does not take away unbiased advise. Every person goes through trauma differently. What is ones extreme maybe another persons minimal experience. Just because the counsellor has gone through that traumatic situations does not mean that the experience was the same. It helps relate, but it does not makes everyone's experience identical.
