  • Summary

  • In this insightful episode, Dina from the Roy Blue Candle delves into the essential concepts of transference and countertransference in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. These phenomena describe the emotional interactions between therapists and clients, playing a crucial role in the therapeutic process.

    Dina explains how transference occurs when clients project past feelings and attitudes onto their therapists, often reflecting emotions tied to significant figures in their lives. This understanding can help therapists explore and resolve clients' past relationship issues, facilitating healing and growth.

    Conversely, countertransference involves a therapist's emotional response to a client, influenced by their own experiences and biases. Recognizing this is vital for therapists to maintain objectivity and professionalism, while also offering insights into their unresolved issues that may affect their work.

    By addressing these dynamics, therapists can enhance the effectiveness of therapy and support clients on their healing journey. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of these foundational concepts in therapy.
