abstract="Being a racialized woman and doing therapy with mostly white clients creates an intersection of race and gender that affects the role I am supposed to perform as a helper. The intersection of race and gender causes transference and countertransference that need to be resolved in therapy. The interplay of transference and countertransference is conceptualized as a border-crossing in this article. Most of my clients have helped me in gaining awareness of my struggle of border-crossing. However, two of my clients seemed to have a greater impact in this regard. A white, male client openly admitted the transference he was experiencing because of my cultural origin. A racialized woman's struggle of border-crossing in terms of seeking justice as a Canadian citizen revealed how justice was denied to her because of her racial and cultural origins and how a counsellor justified it by blaming the culture of my client.<p />",
