Remember that difficult client that you have? Remember the feelings that remained with you after he or she left your office? Very early in our careers we learn that it is called countertransference. We deal with those feelings in different ways: discuss them in supervision, figure them out on our own, go to the gym or act them out. But have you ever seen them with your own eyes? What do they look like? Have you ever had a full visual picture of that anger or guilt or the sensation in your body that cannot be put in words?

We want to show the countertransference to you.

Come to this experiential hands-on workshop at NJI to learn a new way to unload countertransference. Inna will make a short presenta- tion about an analytical case and show you her countertransference feelings in a visual form. We want to teach you a new skill of process- ing your feelings of countertransference using right brain-oriented techniques that will help you prevent burnout and free yourself from holding these feelings in your body.

The learning objective of this workshop is to obtain a new practical skill of processing feelings of countertransference in order to prevent professional burnout.

1. Define burnout and identify signs of burnout based on research.
2. Improve their ability to define connection between burnout and negative countertransference feelings in order to be able to provide effective treatment to clients.
