    Transference and the Importance of the Relationship in Therapy

    I've been a therapist and a patient in long-term therapy so I've experienced transference from both sides of the couch. What is transference? In simplest terms, it usually comes down those 'falling in love' with your therapist, or 'yearning to be friends with them outside sessions' feelings, that many people experience at some point in therapy. The feelings are usually the client transferring unresolved old feelings, and unfulfilled wishes onto the therapist unconsciously, creating an opportunity to get unresolved hurts, pain and unacknowledged feelings sorted. Handling the transference feelings of a client sensitively, directly, while maintaining clear, strong, compassionate boundaries, is the work of a good therapist. It also takes enormous courage for a client to say how they are feeling, and let themselves be vulnerable, while accepting that the relationship must stay sacred and within the therapeutic boundaries, even when they yearn for more. In this episode I explore why transference happens, why it's important albeit painful, and how to deal with those difficult feelings, to keep growing and becoming your own hero Got a life, therapy or mental health question for Dr Deb to answer?

    How NOT to Have a Relationship: Lessons from MAFS 2018

    In this show I'm talking Married at First Sight Australia 2018 for the last time because so many people seem to want to talk about it and understand it more fully. I think reality TV brings out not only the voyeur in us, but the social scientist in us too, that part of us that wants to understand how people tick, how WE tick. Tune in to hear my round up of MAFS 2018.
