t is important to be aware of transference and counter-transference. Transference is when the client projects on to the therapist emotions and perceptions they may have experienced earlier in life. Often a client may see the therapist as having similar qualities to that of a parent. At the same time, the client may also bring up feelings and emotions in the therapist that is related to his personal history. For the therapist in particular, he should try to work out these type of conflicts in supervision so that it doesn’t muddy the session.
