Understanding Transference and Countertransference in Relationships

Transference, the projection of thoughts and feelings from past relationships onto current situations, can lead to both negative and positive outcomes. For example, treating a new boss as if they were a challenging parent due to past experiences. In contrast, countertransference involves the practitioner's personal thoughts and emotions being projected onto a client.
