This guide serves as a practical, reflective resource, helping therapists to navigate the complex emotional landscapes we encounter and ensuring we stay grounded and effective in our work.
The Countertransference Supervision Companion Guide is an essential resource for therapists seeking to deepen their understanding of countertransference. Authored by Rahim Thawer, this guide systematically explores common emotional responses therapists may encounter, including feelings of helplessness, frustration, envy, and even attraction. Each chapter examines a distinct countertransference reaction, with examples and self-reflection questions to help therapists identify underlying dynamics and maintain therapeutic objectivity.
This guide emphasizes the importance of supervision in navigating countertransference, providing recalibration strategies that support therapists in handling challenging emotions and enhancing their therapeutic relationships. By addressing complex responses such as the “rescuer” impulse, cultural impasses, and the therapist’s own trauma history, The Countertransference Supervision Companion Guide serves as both a practical tool and a reflective companion.
For therapists, this book is more than just a guide—it's a pathway to personal growth and professional resilience, fostering a nuanced, compassionate approach to client work.
Who it’s for: Supervisors and reflective practice groups.
