SUMMARY:Countertransference: Friend or Foe?
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThis workshop explores countertransference as an inevitable and clinically useful aspect of counselling work.  \nWe’ll examine classic and contemporary understandings of countertransference and how it shows somatically\, emotionally\, relationally\, and behaviorally in both individual and group contexts.  \nAttention will be given to how countertransference can emerge differently across roles\, relational positions\, and group dynamics\, and how it can be used as a source of clinical information rather than something to be avoided or shut down.  \nWhy it’s important \nCountertransference is one of the primary instruments of clinical work — yet it’s often under-discussed\, pathologized\, or addressed only when something has gone wrong. Developing awareness of countertransference supports ethical practice\, strengthens therapeutic alliances\, and helps counsellors work more effectively with complexity\, intensity\, and rupture.  \nWho it’s suited for  \nThis workshop is well-suited for counsellors\, clinical supervisors\, and advanced trainees across modalities\, given the pervasive role of countertransference in therapeutic relationships.  \nWhat you’ll walk away with: \n\nGreater ease and confidence in talking about countertransference in clinical supervision A\nA clearer\, normalized understanding of countertransference \nIncreased awareness of their own countertransference signals \nPractical ways to work with countertransference rather than against it
