In therapy, transference is when you project feelings about someone from your life onto your therapist, like feeling they’re a parent figure. Countertransference is the therapist’s emotional reaction to you. Honestly, the idea felt very theoretical until my online therapist, yaar, once sighed exactly like my father used to when disappointed. My own reaction—a sudden, childish urge to apologise—made these terms painfully real for this small-town client.
