Transference

In principle, transference is nothing more than a classic phenomenon that can occur in any kind of contact and relationship between people. Experiences, sensations, desires and fantasies from the past are reactivated and transferred to the current encounter or relationship. This phenomenon is especially common in the therapeutic context and can go as far as transference love. Suddenly feelings of affection and love are felt for a person who is actually a stranger, which are basically dedicated to a person from one's own environment. However, since they are not conveyed by the person actually meant for whatever reason, the client transfers them to the therapist. In hypnosis, such subconscious needs and longings can be made conscious and resolved.
