Transferences & Transference Loops - Part 2
Untangle Relationships © Martyn Carruthers

Online Coaching


Are you reacting to some people as if they were someone else?
Do you suffer from your parents' drama, or your partner's demands?
Untangle transferences to untangle your life.

Continued from: Transferences & Transference Loops - Part 1

Transference is characterized by the unconscious redirection of feelings from one person to another. This phenomena was first described by Sigmund Freud over a hundred years ago. Freud acknowledged its importance for understanding emotions and feelings.


Rapport, Transference & Compliance

You meet someone - maybe a salesperson or a helping professional - and you immediately like and trust that person. Are your warm feelings a result of the influence of a trained professional - sometimes called a positive transference?

You can probably recall meeting an unknown person and taking an immediate dislike to that person. Examining the interaction will typically reveal one of the six common transferences. Perhaps this person reminds you of someone in your past with whom you had a problem. This situation is sometimes called a negative transference.

I dislike these terms as much as I dislike health professionals talking about positive or negative emotions. I find that all types of transference can increase confusion, and poor labeling doesn't help.

If a person reminds you of someone you like - or of yourself - you may trust that person without requiring evidence of sincerity, honesty or integrity. Rapport and compliance skills, as taught in many sales trainings and seduction courses, are often called matching and mirroring. Trained people can motivate you to do what they want by duplicating or mirroring your body movements and voice qualities.

Some people unconsciously mirror other people. I recall interviewing a lady therapist and noticing that she compulsively mirrored my every move. To check, I gradually leaned more and more to my left ... she nearly fell off her chair!

If you are being unduly influenced, you may first feel an unusual pleasant feeling or inappropriate rapport with a seller. Then you may feel guilty if you refuse an offer and you are more likely buy whatever that person is selling. However, after the warm, fuzzy sense of rapport wears off, you may feel manipulated, distrustful and abused.


Managing Transferences

Although helping professionals may not consciously recognize or actively avoid all transferences, they can lessen the potential damage caused by so-called positive transferences:

  1. avoid social relationships with current or recent clients
  2. avoid professional relationships with friends or family members
  3. never offer or accept an intimate relationship with a client (unless you want chaos)
  4. read (3) again - especially if you enjoy a little chaos from time to time

If you feel attracted to or repelled by a client, you can discuss your professional rules before you start work. If you suspect that either you or the client may have a transference with each other, you can discuss what behaviors are appropriate before the emotional temperature rises.

Sometimes, the road to hell seems to be paved with well-meaning therapists.


Dissolving Transferences

If you notice a transference, you could educate your client about transferences, or you could find out to whom the transference is associated and dissolve it. We teach long-term dissolution of transference loops between partners in our Systems 8 (Couple Coach Training), between family members - Systems 9 (Family Coach Training) and between team members on Systems 10 (Team Coach Training).

After reading your article on transferences, I was shocked to realize just how many of my clients see me as a mother figure. I realized that this is part of how I attract and keep clients. But this also means that many clients cling to me - if I let them use me as a substitute Mom - they can avoid growing up. Atlanta, USA


Transferences in Couple Coaching

Stressed people in difficult relationships often react to what is not said - to body language - and to the emotional reactions and intuited interpretations of this nonverbal communication. This can trigger unpleasant emotions which motivate retaliation, revenge and fights.

During a partnership, most couples (and business partners) seem to generate core transference loops. When a core loop is activated, both partners often lose resources simultaneously, which leads to unpleasant consequences. We help couples to dissolve these contextual doubled transferences.

Long-term, simultaneous dissolution of core transference loops is more complex. Two common examples are that a woman perceives her male partner more as a son, and/or the man perceives his wife as a substitute for his mother. The results are both commonplace and devastating to romantic intimacy, and are often a root cause of extra-marital affairs and divorce.

Your couple coaching helped us evaluate our core values and goals, and the type of marriage we both wanted. You helped us transcend personal advantages and sexual attraction - you exposed us as real human beings with real dreams of happiness.

We help couples befriend and manage their emotions and to build the skills, supportive beliefs and values needed for long-term partnership and parenthood. Couples can benefit from proven ways to dissolve not only their problematic symptoms but also the underlying causes of ...


Emotional Maturity

If you experience our couple coaching, you may not look at couples the same way again. You will hear many stories about partners that you later find are untrue. You will see much well-intentioned hurt and the consequences of abuse, betrayal and ignorance. And you can develop your emotional maturity.

Transferences are unconscious ties - and unconscious lies.
We can help you recognize and dissolve them!

Sharing thoughts and feelings is relationship first aid. We help people
make clear relationship decisions. We help people dissolve transferences and
we help couples dissolve transference loops and repair shattered relationships.
