ABSTRACT

This article is concerned with embodied process and the need to attend to evoked emotion in order to support the transference relationship. I look briefly at Lakoff and Johnson’s work on linguistic metaphor and the way, through embodied cognition, it shapes our conceptual world. Through the use of clinical vignettes, I illustrate how some of my clients use a combination of technology and embodied process to evoke strong emotional and physiological countertransference responses in me. One of the advantages of working online is that, given the chance, our clients use their whole environment to communicate. They access software and use hardware, including furniture, to let us know about their embodied experience. Some of what they use might not be so accessible during face-to-face sessions. I have found that paying attention to what they bring and the emotions aroused enhances our communication and the transference relationship.

摘要

本文关注的是具体过程以及需要引起唤起的情感以支持移情关系的问题。我简要地看一下拉科夫和约翰逊在语言隐喻方面的工作，以及通过体现认知来塑造我们的概念世界的方式。通过使用临床小插曲，我说明了一些客户如何结合技术和具体化的过程在我体内引起强烈的情绪和生理逆转反应。在线工作的优势之一是，只要有机会，我们的客户就可以利用他们的整个环境进行交流。他们访问软件并使用硬件，包括家具，以使我们了解其具体的体验。在面对面的会话中，他们使用的某些内容可能无法如此访问。
