Using the videos on the home page and the readings to inform your viewpoints, choose 2 questions to answer. As you read the questions, notice your internal reaction. If you have a strong reaction to a question or want to avoid any, those might be the ones to pick. In your reply, clearly state which questions you are answering.

In your second post/reply posts, try to reply to students who answered different questions than you to enhance your learning across all areas.

1.The ability to identify and work with transference and countertransference in therapy is essential. What makes this an ethical issue and in what ways do you see transference and countertransference impacting client progress (client benefit)? How will you work to gain awareness of your own countertransference?

2. Did you choose to listen to any of the videos or podcasts about race and racism in therapy? Why or why not? If you did, what are you taking away from it in terms of benefit to clients in addressing race and racism in therapy? Did you learn anything about yourself as you listened? How is addressing race and racism in therapy an ethical issue?
