This article presents a transcultural and intersectional ego state model that takes into consideration the reality of systemic oppression and the influence of transcultural and intersectional identity on self and other. The model considers the intersect and interplay between race, gender, and other cultural selves and takes into account the complexity of cultural experience and narrative. Through inquiry about cultural selves and mapping those onto an ego state model, it is possible to develop more insight into intersectional identity, including how privilege and oppression are manifested in the self and enacted in the world. The author asks how we might reflect on and locate cultural impasse, unconscious bias, generational oppression, White privilege, othering, and power dynamics in our work. A dialogue with a colleague is offered, and intersectional identities are mapped and discussed. Readers are invited to consider their transcultural experience and locate their intersectional identity, thus accounting for power dynamics
