I admit that I am not always crystal clear on understanding transference and countertransference, and I think that's because they can be fuzzy and complicated and open to interpretation.

I guess it is more like RS has talked about, just when I feel, sense a shift in her and how she is interacting with me for whatever reason. I think that is how I will bring it up. I wrote fairly extensively about it this journal set that I will give her on Monday because I felt like there was one of these moments in Thursday's session. I had already been thinking of how to talk to her about this concept going into Thursday's session. Then there was a topic on Thursday that felt like something was going on with her. Maybe she was just trying to convey something to me and I picked up on the shift but don't know what it means ... or ??? So, yeah, I think I will talk to her more in the general, what should we do, if I notice something like this, way.
