Abstract
I am a narrative psychotherapist. When I work with a client I attempt to use the language of the client to describe what is going on for the client. Narrative therapy considers not only the individual within the family context but considers wider influences by deconstruction of the understandings and stories about the self that come from society on a more global level. This process externalises problems and opens space for reauthoring lives. Countertransference is a psychodynamic term used in a fairly universal way by therapists of many different theoretical backgrounds. Rather than taking a blameful position (e.g. that the individual has the problem) the presentation takes a questioning position about the influence of the predominant heterosexual culture on the individual therapist's response (the countertransference).
