In today’s episode of the podcast, I would like to give you my take on transference. I want to share with you what I actually believe. Often lectures focus on the history of transference or what certain papers say, but I’d like to share my accumulated, internalized experiences and understanding of transference.

My hope is to make this easy to read and understand. I want to give a talk on this that can be understood both by experienced clinicians who are familiar with these concepts, who will imagine where I am pulling different pieces of wisdom and maybe where I am being creative and uniquely contributing to the field, but also by people who don’t have much of a background on transference and want to further explore it.
