Product Description
Many forms of transference can occur outside of a therapy setting. With positive transference, the person receiving massage redirects positive qualities onto the LMT. The truth of the matter is we all push our feelings onto people every now and then. It can hinder one’s relationships, negatively affect mental health, and create unhealthy thinking and behavioral patterns. This 3 CEU class will offer so much more about about the power differential, boundaries, countertransference, projection and more!
