Have you ever left a session wondering why a client interaction affected you so strongly?
Maybe you felt unusually protective. Frustrated. Anxious. Bored. Helpless. Or you noticed an urge to rescue, reassure, challenge, withdraw, over-explain, or avoid something altogether.
Those reactions are worth noticing—not because they automatically tell you something about the client, but because understanding your own responses is part of thoughtful clinical work.
The TUT Countertransference Reflection Guide gives therapists a structured way to slow down and examine the emotional, cognitive, physical, and behavioral reactions that can arise within the therapeutic relationship.
Through guided reflection, you'll explore what happened, what you noticed in yourself, possible personal or contextual influences, relational patterns, and how your response could affect listening, pacing, boundaries, interventions, or expectations.
The guide also helps you identify a grounded next step and organize what you may want to bring into supervision or consultation. Practice scenarios let you work through situations involving frustration, personal values, and the urge to "fix" a client's problem.
Countertransference isn't something to ignore or automatically act on. This guide helps you become more curious about what is happening within you—and more intentional about what you do next.
