In this reply to the generous commentaries by Michelle Stephens, Adrienne Harris and Kirkland Vaughans, I reflect on the complex questions they pose and the profound ways in which they deepen this shared conversation about “relational racialization” in psychoanalysis. As Stephens suggests, this is a process we are all subject to and subjected by, even if with more or less detrimental, corrosive effects on our senses of self. I elaborate how, as a White analyst, taking the lead in speaking directly about race requires sensitivity, care, deep listening, and a willingness to step into discomfort, make mistakes, try to repair racialized enactments when they inevitably occur, and, as Vaughans notes, to reach out rather than down, to “construct necessary scaffolding to bridge the divide” in cross-racial dyads.
