Abstract
Broaching race, ethnicity, and other cultural factors within supervision can spark growth in supervisor and supervisee cultural responsiveness, enhance client care, and strengthen the supervisory relationship. Despite this promise, supervisorsunderutilize broaching. In the current study, we used autoethnography to explore the broaching process, including supervisor hesitation, supervisee expectations for supervision, and the relational and educational functions of broaching in supervision. The narratives of supervisor and supervisee were analyzed alongside empirical and conceptual work on broaching. Considerations for approaching broaching dialogues and implications for supervision practice are described.
