Transference

Transference is when you “transfer” you personal flaws and garbage to someone else.

Many times, people don’t even realize they are doing this.

Occasionally it is important for personal, positive growth to ask yourself if you are doing this to other people, because by periodically examining your own flaws, you can be aware of them.

By becoming aware of them, you have to opportunity to change and become a better and happier person.

My semi-evil, douche-bag neighbor just told me all this nasty stuff about everyone in town. I have a feeling he is mostly talking about himself indirectly and using transference.

transference

In a patient-therapist relationship, romantic feelings can develop. And when that happens, it clouds objectivity and that relationship breaks down.

it's basically a therapist has romantic feelings for a patient and/or the patient has romantic feelings about the therapist.
the romantic feelings clouds the reason why the patient is in therapy. otherwise the romance gets in the way.

s: hey, can i tell you something…? it's about my therapist.
j: of course, what is it?
s: i have… i have feelings for my therapist, the type where i just wanna grab her and kiss her. it's so awkward to have transference feelings for her!
j: that sucks..

Transference

Transferring feelings you have for a significant person in your life to someone who reminds you of that person. An example of this is when you meet someone who reminds you of your father and you transfer the feelings you have for your father to that person.

Transference is a defense mechanism according to my therapist

awkward transference

When you're watching a movie and actors start to sing. You feel so embarrassed for them and your eyes start to tear.

"Dude, why is Sigourney Weaver singing 'Back in the U.S.S.R.?' I'm feeling such awkward transference right now."
