Then there is the cultural aspect of countertransference; my therapist, BIPOC, like me, was frustrated when I resisted change because of how I grew up and am still not giving in to my emotions. Though we both agree that our cultural norm in the U.S. differs from our motherland, I remained steadfast, which upset her. The proverbial, "It's there in plain sight." I caught it, and I apologized. C.T. may be described in textbooks and DSM-V, but the culture and the ideas behind C.T. are not addressed.
Searle discussed countertransference as an analytic datum to be used by the therapist in the therapy. The analyst must be aware without judgement of these feelings, thus allowing them not to interfere, but rather to aid in the process. Transference and Countertransference are not necessarily separate. Thus, I disagree that countertransference is inherently damaging.
..."a therapist may remind a client of her mother. Then, without the client even realizing, she begins IN CAGING with the therapist as she does her own mother." Nice! Perhaps a video on the notion of a Freudian slip is in order. LOL
Interesting. Thank you for sharing. I hope you do not mind... we have a Psychology channel where we discuss topics such as transference and counter transference. We also discuss Safeguarding and Child Protection etc. Any support is greatly appreciated.
So therapists having emotions, after therapy sessions are experiencing counter transference? Um, are you sure? I’m not sure that’s a terribly well informed opinion, and neither does it seem very reflective.
Hi there! Here are my thoughts. The fact that she is spending a lot of time thinking about death and experiencing a lower mood after working with a client experiencing depression and suicidal ideation indicates countertransference is occurring. Transference and countertransference occur in therapy and are not something to look upon negatively, but to be aware of so that additional supports can be sought out as needed. Seeking supervision or support is not punitive, rather acknowledges that we can be personally impacted by our work with our clients and at times can benefit from additional support ourselves. So if a therapist spends a lot of time thinking about death and is experiencing a lower mood when working with a client who is suicidal, it is something that can be helpful to process through with a supervisor to ensure they are getting the support needed as they treat this client and so that their own mental health does not suffer as a result.
@@TDCExamPrep I think it's more induction example than countertransference. Thinking about death and low mood are induced and related to the present experience, not the therapist's past.
Great insightful listen. I think transference and countertransference are dynamics that are present in all of our lives. Thankyou
