My previous therapy was all about transference. I never spoke to my former therapist about countertransference while I’m therapy. I brought it up early on (2-months) in our friendship. The first time and only time she would not have a very blunt open discussion with me. At the time I felt she was a little defensive. It felt like she was telling me in a round-about way that if there was any countertransference she dealt with it outside of our sessions. I don’t recall any negative or positive countertransference on her part. Since therapy is over I don’t have a desire to open the discussion again and am left a little bit curious. Maybe, when I’m in my 80’s I may bring it up again.
