Exploring Countertransference with Dr. Amy Meyers In this episode of the Heart-Centered Therapist podcast, meet Dr. Amy Meyers, a seasoned psychotherapist and professor trained in psychoanalysis, as we discuss the concept of countertransference in therapy. Dr. Meyers, with over 30 years of practice and 18 years of teaching experience, shares insights from her career and from hosting her own podcast, 'What Would Dr. Meyers Do?' We learn about what countertransference is, explore real life examples illustrating countertransference in action, including handling personal biases, emotional stakes in therapy, and the growth that comes from self-reflection and understanding one's countertransference. Plus we cover the importance of supervision and community in nurturing a productive therapeutic practice. In short, we really look at how therapists can manage their feelings and reactions during therapy sessions!  00:00 Welcome to the Heart-Centered Therapist Podcast 00:18 Introducing Dr. Amy Meyers: A Psychotherapy Expert 03:05 The Essence of Being a Heart-Centered Therapist 04:15 Navigating the Complexities of Countertransference 22:50 Personal Growth Through Professional Practice 29:25 Exploring the World of Countertransference and Therapy 31:15 Discovering Dr. Amy Meyers and Her Contributions   Connect with Dr. Amy Meyers: Website: www.amymeyersphd.org www.linktr.ee/drmeyerspod Podcast:  https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/amy-meyers  FB and IG: @drmeyerspod    Check out Berries: https://heyberries.com/heart-centered Use Discount Code: Sindee50 for $50 off your first month Connect with Sindee: Visit my website: https://heartcenteredtherapistpodcast.com/  Join the Heart-Centered Therapist Community FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/478651669638167 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartcenteredtherapist/ Shop Mental Health Threads: https://mentalhealththreads.etsy.com Interested in realigning your own practice to be more heart-centered?
