Abstract

This paper is a personal account of the author’s understanding of her countertransference in relationship to a variety of clients. It was written during the second semester of her third year of bioenergetic training. Trainees were required to keep a journal of their process throughout the semester, noting specifically their awareness of their countertransference issues as they read the required readings and participated in the experiential exercises throughout the training weekends. The author explores ways in which her process in training and her process in her own therapy impact her growth and understanding of her countertransference.
