In reply to counter transfernce ..., posted by toomuchpain on January 18, 2005, at 17:15:28
Countertransference is the T's emotional reaction to your expression of transference.
So, if you show hatred...and it makes him feel like a failure...that's countertransference.
It's not his feelings about YOU - it's his feelings about your transference emotions.
If fact he should be looking at why you are feeling that way, and analyze the possibile sources of those feelings. Perhaps you are hating him because he is probing you to talk about sensitive areas, for instance.
Does that make sense?
