The influence of our own history on how we work
Sue Kegerreis

Short synopsis:  In this talk I discuss the role of the personal history and development on counsellors’ and psychotherapists’ clinical work.  I include consideration of the real relationship between two unique individuals in therapy and counselling and the way in which relational psychotherapy has changed the way we think about this.  Using personal and other examples, I look at the way in which our personal history will affect how we feel about our clients, what we emphasise in our work and the distinctive transference and countertransference dynamics in each case.  I will discuss issues of self-disclosure and reflect on how our experiences during the pandemic affected what clients ‘saw’ and understood about us.
