Do you know what the
Do you know what the term transference means?
Transference describes an emotional and psychological process in which one individual begins to develop feelings for another person as a result of significant historical influences. For example, you may find yourself feeling emotionally close to your 75-year-old neighbor because she reminds you of your great-grandmother who passed away 3 years ago. You may find yourself wanting to buy things for her, help her in her garden, or treat her like you would your own grandmother.
The only difference between this 75-year-old woman and your grandmother is that this woman may be drastically different from your great grandmother but you fail to recognize that.
Because of this, you may find yourself disappointed once you truly get to know this 75-year-old woman. You may also find out that you don't actually like this woman after all and were deceived by your own feelings and voids.
This is transference. In this video, I discuss ways to cope with feelings of transference. Stay tuned for the next video as I provide an overview of actual steps you can take to "heal" from transference.
