How to reduce the risk of adverse idealising transference
Inform clients about the phenomenon at the beginning of the therapy. Carry out regular reviews in which the potential for AIT is monitored. Maintain consistent professional boundaries and refrain from personal disclosures that could encourage idealisation. Refrain from making the client feel special. Be clear that the relationship can only ever be professional. If the potential for AIT becomes apparent, discuss it with the client in order to work out the best way of tackling it. Take it to supervision and seek external consultation if it persists. Take responsibility for any actions that contributed to the idealisation. Refrain from acting defensively by blame, rejection and sudden rigid boundaries, or terminating the therapy without the agreed notice period. __________________ When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
