0:00.0	So I'm sitting there listening intently to my client. I'm a young therapist at the beginning of my career
0:06.3	and I'm trying really hard to be a good therapist, you know, and I'm loving being a therapist.
0:12.9	I love helping people and I love seeing results and I also love the way each
0:18.6	session is like a puzzle or like a maze or I don't know a fascinating walk in the woods with
0:25.1	someone down a trail, a nice pleasant trail, fraught with all sorts of, you know, twists and
0:32.8	turns and with discovery and with with love and with pain, but ultimately with growth. How about
0:43.4	that for a metaphor? So I'm listening to my client and I feel like I'm doing really well.
0:48.2	I'm being empathic, I'm attentive, she's telling me about her emotional experience. Everything is
0:54.6	going according to plan. And then she says, and that's why you're a terrible therapist. And then
1:01.7	she really lays into me. She's super angry at me. She's not happy with me. And she knows exactly
1:10.2	what to say to hurt my feelings. She's insulting me. She's telling me that I'm too young, I'm

1:28.0	I'm thinking, what? I'm a terrible therapist. Wait, I thought I was doing a good job. She accuses
1:34.4	me of not knowing what I'm doing and if not really listening to her and of being a man who could
1:40.7	never understand her. I'm devastated and I'm terrified. And I suspect she's right. I'm a terrible
1:47.0	therapist. She's right about that. In this episode, I will provide a self analysis of my
1:53.8	counter-transference during that moment. This is a common psychodynamic practice to self-analys.
2:00.2	I will discuss what happened, my emotional reaction, what I did in the moment, my analysis of
2:06.2	myself, my self-analysis, my analysis of my client, my plan for future sessions, and the
2:11.4	eventual outcome. This episode is just for patrons of the podcast. So if you're listening to this
2:18.3	and you're not a patron of the podcast, this episode will end early. If you want to hear the full
