@dr.devanbaijal One of the most interesting parts of therapy is that the relationship itself can become part of the work. In traditional psychoanalytic therapy, transference happens when feelings or patterns from past relationships show up toward the therapist, and countertransference, then, is the therapist’s own resulting feelings and emotional reactions toward the patient. This should not be ignored! My program is very psychodynamic heavy in our therapy training, which involves exploring how unconscious thoughts, previous experiences, and past relationships shape current behaviors, patterns and relationships. A key component of this can be found by exploring transference dynamics. It can often provide insight into the patients relation patterns and unresolved conflicts. Working on understanding transference dynamics can deepen the therapeutic alliance and allow the work to become deeper and more meaningful. So yes I do want to know if they’d want me as their psychiatrist if I was a worm!!! #mentalhealth #psychiatry #therapy #residency #charlotte
