Countertransference refers to the client's accidental exposure of the consultant's unresolved conflicts. A psychologist, despite his professional level, may experience discomfort in these conditions. This is why countertransference interferes with effective counseling.
Instructions
Step 1
Don't try to please every customer. Remember that you cannot be cute.
Step 2
Not every client can give a positive assessment to the work of a consultant. Therefore, you should prepare yourself mentally for negative reactions from other people.
Step 3
A consultant psychologist should not underestimate his professional merit if the client has not come to the meeting. Remember that absolutely any unforeseen life situation could serve as the reason for this.
Step 4
If you start to feel erotic feelings towards the client, it is better to refer the client to your colleague.
Step 5
If the client's life values cause rejection and aggression in the counselor, the client should also be transferred to another psychologist.
Step 6
Direct advice should not be given to clients. You should not take responsibility for the actions of others.
Step 7
Introspect more often. Develop qualities such as authenticity and openness to your own experience.
