Transference and Resistance (1 CE)

The Unconscious in Everyday Life: An Introduction to Psychodynamic Therapy

Transference and Resistance (1 CE)

Wednesday, August 12, 2026

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Alaska Time

Transference and resistance are among the most important concepts in psychodynamic psychotherapy. This session explores how clients unconsciously bring expectations, feelings, and relationship patterns from past experiences into present interactions with the therapist. Participants will learn to recognize various forms of resistance and understand them as meaningful communications rather than obstacles to treatment. Participants will gain insight into how transference and resistance can deepen therapeutic understanding and facilitate psychological growth.
