10/22/24 • 25 min
🎙️ New Podcast Alert! Episode 11 of Therapists' Row with Hosts Shay & May 🎙️
Have you ever noticed unexpected emotions coming up in therapy—either from your clients or from yourself? This week, we're unpacking the powerful, often hidden forces of Transference & Countertransference that can shape the therapeutic relationship in profound ways.
🔹 Transference: What happens when a client unconsciously redirects their feelings, from admiration to frustration, onto their therapist? We'll break down the different types—whether it's idealization, hostility, or even romantic attraction—and share signs to watch for, plus real-world examples that may sound familiar.
🔹 Countertransference: But what about you as the therapist? How do your own feelings, even those you're not fully aware of, influence the way you respond to clients? Learn how to manage these emotions through self-awareness, supervision, and maintaining strong boundaries to keep the therapy on track.
This episode is packed with practical strategies, ethical insights, and tools to help you navigate these tricky waters in your practice. Don't miss out!
🔑 Tune in now to explore how understanding these dynamics can lead to deeper, more effective therapeutic connections.
