quote:I wonder if the therapists that are psychologists have experience to deal with transference or countertransference.
Hi SimplyMe,
My T is not a “psychologist”, but a LMFT who also provides individual therapy and is adequately trained and experienced in dealing with transference. What separates a T from handling it properly whether experienced w/ it or not is the humility to accept whatever their own limitations might be and how their own issues come into play, and their willingness to seek supervision.
