one person to another … inappropriate repetition in the present of
a relationship that was important in a person’s childhood

History continued Therapist could use this
position/event to help restore the client to more normal feelings by responding in ways unlike that of the person upon which the original feelings were based
Corrective emotional experience (in therapy)

History continued Carl Jung
…within the transference dyad both participants typically experience a variety of opposites, that in love and in psychological growth, the key to success is the ability to endure the tension of the opposites without abandoning the process, …this tension allows one to grow and to transform

Feelings of fear, vulnerability Difficulty trusting, aversion to forming
relationships Hopelessness about being able to make
a difference in clients lives

VT Bottom Line continued
