Good afternoon. This is my first post. I'm a psych grad, in my second year, started doing clinical work. I know, you might think it's late, but this is a pretty research oriented program I'm in. Anyhow, I'm glad I found this forum. For a number of reasons, I'm more comfortable talking about some of my experiences, with other grad students who are not necessarily in my program. So this forum seems like the right place.
Anyhow, what is your worst counter-transference? Mine so far has been to abusers whose abuse is not severe enough to warrant legal involvement yet significant enough that make me want to stop it. We have talked about how certain patients can be tough on certain therapists. So I'm aware of my own reaction. We talked about it in my small clinical class too, but I like to go into more details here, again, if this is allowed. Thank you, and have a good day.
