Check out our latest podcast episode where we explore the concepts of transference and countertransference introduced by Sigmund Freud. These psychological processes play a crucial role in therapy by shaping the interactions between therapist and client. We discuss how feelings and desires are unconsciously transferred to the therapist and how therapists' reactions can impact the therapeutic journey. Through expert analysis and historical context, we unravel the implications of these interactions, providing a deeper understanding of the therapeutic relationship through a Freudian lens. If you're interested in psychoanalytic theory and its impact on modern psychotherapy, this episode is a must-listen.
