And I think that, I mean, there's a lot of like all really awesome stuff, right?

Now I feel like an idiot because I just finished this interview with a person who I think is like decent and trying to make the world a better place and who has great stories and, you know, has an amazing journey to share and helps people out.

And my first thought is I can see why people don't like her.

So please, I apologize for jumping straight there, but that was my first reaction.

Right.

Is like there's something weird about this story.

And I see this a lot.

Like, so I know it sounds weird, but even when I sit with patients.

So there's this concept of like transference and counter transference.

OK, so transference is.

I'm going to be a little bit.

particular about my definitions of these things.

So transference is when you're sitting with your therapist in therapy, you sometimes have certain feelings that come up that are directed towards the therapist.

So you feel like your therapist is AFK.

You feel like they're letting you down.

You feel like you're not getting anywhere.

Like you feel sometimes you will get erotic transference is incredibly common.

Like 30 to 40% of patients will experience erotic transference was just to have transference.

romantic or sexual feelings towards your therapist.

And then countertransference is the therapist's reaction to the transference.
