This month we’re turning toward the relational field: the feelings, assumptions, somatic cues, and micro-reactions that arise between client and clinician. This work calls us to prioritize awareness, monitor our internal responses, and hold countertransference not as a “mistake,” but as information—clinical data with the potential to deepen attunement, clarify what’s happening, and support repair.

In our first June meeting, we’ll focus on recognition: learning your early warning signs, tracking patterns, and building enough inner steadiness to stay present when something activates.

Come with one reflection:

• Which emotions, somatic responses, or reactions tend to signal that transference/countertransference may be occurring for you?

• What helps you remain grounded and regulated when you notice a strong internal response?
