The affective realm--including sorrow, pain, ecstasy, vulnerability, joy, and rage--is a central component of feminist teaching and learning. Feminist classrooms are spaces where strong feelings are raised, paradigms shift, and ruptures are created. Coming to feminist consciousness may involve grief, anger, and sadness for students. Speaking about the process of politicization that some students experience as part of their education, bell hooks reminds readers that pain is often a part of this process. Twenty plus years of the journal "Feminist Teacher" as well as the publication of numerous books and articles have provided feminist educators with excellent pedagogical tools to use in women's studies classrooms. And yet there still remains a paucity of writing about approaches or resources that professors might use to help students deal with the past and present traumas that arise in women's studies classrooms. In this article, the authors argue that teaching students about the possibilities of feminist therapy is a useful addition to any women's studies syllabus. (Contains 6 notes.)
