Tothis end, in-depth interviews were conducted with middle-level counselors with 4 to 10 years ofcounseling experience, how they experienced countertransference through meetings with clients inthe counseling field, and how they understood and coped with it. Finally, 117 configured semanticunits, 27 sub-themes, and 6 super-topics were derived. Upper themes include triggers that causeloss of balance, inadvertently revealed countertransference, the moment one becomes aware ofcountertransference, developing a counseling sense, using a crisis in a relationship as a therapeuticturning point, and transforming into a seasoned counselor after going through growing pains. Thesignificance of this study is that it presented the meaning of concrete and vivid experiences ofcountertransference through a phenomenological research method, explored the meaning andcharacteristics of countertransference experienced by intermediate counselors, and presentedcounseling implications based on this.
