What feelings do we have toward the patient and toward their families?
And countertransference is everywhere.
It's in all human interactions.
But in palliative care, it's particularly intense because things just get dialed up when we're in these crucible life or death moments with patients.
So what otherwise might have been subdued gets amplified in our work.
Exactly.
And just some points about countertransference.
It can be negative, like we're talking about, or it can be positive.
Like I had a patient last week where I felt inspired and uplifted, but I had another case last week where I felt hopeless and exacerbated.
It can also be universal or personal.
I'm thinking about your case, Danny, of the VA patient, where I imagine any one of us would have felt irritated and stressed in that room to some degree.
That's universal countertransference.
Everyone would feel really devoid in that case.
there was something personal too in your countertransference, maybe because you were a trainee where you had a specific sensitivity to that patient, what he was saying to you, where you had a unique reaction.
I'm happy you brought this up, Dani and Eric, because it's such a gift that we have to offer to create this space for one another to process together, like through IDT, through friend peer groups, case supervision with colleagues.
And that is a place where we can gain this ability to look within in a way where it's all data and it's all just we can have a nonjudgmental presence toward these types of reactions that we have with patients.
it's all data that can better inform our practice.
You're into this.
Alex, we will talk about reaction formation a little later if we have
We'll make a note to do it, yeah.
