Transference And Counter Transference Case Study
Transference and Counter transference: The sun flower was placed in front of the therapist. I felt the working relationship had been more strengthened, and there were support and warmth flowing between us. The flower’s colour and shape brought warmth and a sense of order. It also gave a fresh and relaxed sense like the sun coming out again after a storm.

After this stage of work, Lily no longer had the feeling of crashing down when she was facing the skull. The sense which was frozen by fear began to melt, and she was more willing to and had capable to review and face conflicts. Her conscious differentiation went up, and she gradually had the ability to see the truth and make clear of the mood. Headaches disappeared and the sleeping conditions

As it approaches consciousness it first appears projected in figures like mana, gods, daimons, etc, ... whose numen seems to be the vital source of energy, and in point of fact is so as long as these supernatural figures are accepted……But as these fade and lose their force, the ego that is, the empirical man seems to come into possession of this source of energy.

Flowers, a geese-feeding woman, a God-mother carrying a baby, and a red-crowned crane appeared on the back-left corner.

Transference and Counter transference: The understanding relationship between Lily and me facilitated our interactions. After she entered the room, she looked at me firstly, and I was watching her warmly, then she smiled shyly. Children could feel the goodliness from the eyes of the mother. I found my love for Lily was like the flowers in the top branches sending out fragrance. An idea floated in my mind -- If I had a daughter like Lily, I would have taken good care of her. Lily faced her terrible mother and had more connection with Great Mother’s nurture and support. I admired her courage. I carefully guarded the space security, holding the horrific monster mother and experience the healing power from Isis.

    It is the eighth wonder of the world. No one knows where it ensues from, but it is the force behind everything man thinks. Equality shows this the forest when he states,“We were thinking that these were thoughts without sense” (Rand 78). The phrase “without sense” is referring to his spirit doing it because it can, not because it should, which is a conundrum to the people in Anthem. Also, ego is the spirit of man to do work, care for one’s family and friends, and accomplish tasks, which affect everyone’s lives. Equality is driven to go against laws and make great discoveries when he first envisages his spirit, even though he does not know what it is or where it comes from. Among these include his clandestine hole, which “It is forbidden” (Rand 31) to go down, and the light box he…

    Love is a complex emotion. It has the ability to make you feel like you are flying, literally touching and seeing heaven. Yet it also has the ability to break your heart into a thousand pieces, hurt you in ways you never could have dreamed possible, make you feel all at once like you are living a nightmare and dying at the same time. Love can be wondrous when given freely and unconditionally, or it can be dangerous when wielded as a weapon. There is no love more multifaceted then that of a parent and child. The relationship between Vivi and Sidda personifies both ends of the love spectrum, oftentimes, to the extreme. Through Rebecca Wells’s “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood” we are able to see Vivi’s beautiful, life giving love of Sidda, as well as the ease with which she brandishes her manipulation of the most painful aspects of love. Through Sidda we witness a child’s desperate need for approval, an unending desire to please and placate a mother who is both emotionally absent, and emotionally smothering, sometimes in the same breath. The “Divine Secrets” is a psychologically draining journey of a daughter’s quest to understanding the secrets to her mothers love.…
