Course Description

Write your awesome label here.
In her magnificent teaching style, Polly Young-Eisendrath takes us on a journey through the psychological concepts of transference and countertransference, also known as projective identification. These concepts refer to the sense of being emotionally kidnapped by someone else’s reality. Each of us unconsciously projects and evokes certain dynamics in our close relationships. These dynamics affect partner relationships, relationships with adult children, between adult siblings, relationships with a boss, a leader, a spiritual teacher, and in psychotherapy.

Being able to deal with these transference- countertransference dynamics requires that we recognize them as they are happening. Next it is about listening, hearing and seeing the other person’s perspective, even when we are emotionally activated. For this to happen, we also must learn to track our own subjectivity. Our ability to deal with these emotionally-charged conversations will improve our relationship with others.

Being able to listen in a mindful way requires us to track our subjective experience when we are hearing something that is emotionally upsetting or when we sense that we are emotionally ‘caught’.

In this course you will get a tool that helps you track your own subjectivity. Sensing your own subjectivity helps to create a mindful space in relationships. This increases trust for all parties that they can talk about emotionally challenging topics without retaliation. This course enables you to have difficult and emotional conversations in your life.

The classes are available now.

This program is ideal if you want to be able to

  • Recognize the emotional repeating patterns in your communication with others, for example, in a relationship with a partner, an adult child, a sibling, or a person in an authority position.
  • Describe the inner work (learning to track your own subjectivity) that is needed to deal with the phenomena of transference and countertransference.
