Transference is ubiquitous. Yet whilst it is often elusive and complex in its nature, working with this unconscious process is an integral part of the therapeutic process.
This workshop will enable you to gain a better theoretical understanding of the complexities and powerful phenomenon of transference and its different types.
- What is transference? Do you struggle with the potentially confusing concept of transference?
- Have you ever experienced strong or inexplicable feelings when working with a client?
- Have you ever felt stuck, uncomfortable or overwhelmed?
- Have you ever found yourself getting confused or ‘into something’ with your client? It may be that you are caught in the powerful phenomenon of transference.
- Do you want to be better able to identify and make sense of the complexities of this?
- Do you want to feel more confident in how to work with the transference, so it becomes a tool for your practice
Through experiential exercises and focused discussions, in partners and in groups, you will explore the transference looking for clues and reflecting on this as a means of unconscious communication. Using case studies and film you will explore different transferences in action. Within a safe space, you will explore any current difficulties you may be having with your clinical work. This will enable you to consider practical ways of unravelling and working with the transference.
By attending this workshop you will expect:
- To broaden the understanding of transference theoretically, experientially and practically.
- To gain confidence in recognising, exploring and using transference.
- To reflect on the transference within clinical work and to consider interpretations practical ways of working with it.
- To feel more skilled at working with the transference in clinical practice.
