Аннотация:Main consequences of countertransferential reactions in trauma counselors known to be divided into two main groups: (1) over-identification: leading to inadequate self-disclosure; (2) avoidance associated with risks of falling into empathic error, loss of boundaries, over-involvement, mutual dependence. We observed trauma counsellors who exhibited the following typical reactions: (1) protection, expressed in denial (disbelief in what survivor tells), unwillingness fatigue from clients' hard stories, hiding behind professional role, intellectual position - reasoning and theorizing; (2) guilt towards clients: excessive guardianship, desire to save, help, surround clients with care, attention, love, justifying their role as caregivers and protectors or talking about ethics: is it ethical to conduct research on suffering people; (3) anger, aggression directed at patients, identification with aggressor, delving into patient's experiences, receiving unconscious pleasure from suffering, interpreted as positive; (4) shame, reflected in disgust, contempt, which is directed at submissive victim, who didn't resist the tormentor (while working with disabled - blind people were perceived as sighted which could indicate manifestation of protective attitudes, projective identification, super-empathy, distorting the process of perception; (5) perception of survivor as a hero: when patients are perceived as special super-people who have "heroic past"; (6) moral assessment of traumatic event: a tendency to give political assessment of disaster, terrorist attack: to condemn or justify, instead of understanding the person without evaluating. We also propose the interpretation of countertransferential reactions of trauma counselor as the reflection of inner work with traumatic experience, reactivation of his/her own experience which needs meaning personality work, aimed at working with past temporal experience towards creating a continuum and unity of personality not only for client but for therapist as well (Magomed-Eminov).
