Burnout, rescue fantasies, sudden rage, and boundary confusion are all part of countertransference--the great occupational hazard of this profession. The conventional wisdom is that the best way to address countertransference is to work on your own family-of-origin issues with a colleague or a supervisor. In this experiential workshop, we'll explore a model for how you can identify and actively deal with the cognitive distortions and extreme emotionality that lead to losing perspective on what a client needs. Through a variety of exercises drawn from the Internal Family Systems model, you'll learn to become sensitive to how your own inner parts can become activated by a client's emotional issues, and how to restore your therapeutic perspective. You'll also learn a language for discussing countertransference issues that can enable you to address them right in the therapy session.
