Question 4 of 10

4. Question
A participant in your group says something that reminds you of a difficult personal relationship, and you notice irritation rising. The most appropriate first response is to:
- Ask the participant to stop talking so you can manage your reaction
- Ignore the feeling and continue facilitating without reflection
- Notice the reaction internally, name it as possible counter-transference, and return to a neutral facilitation stance
- Share your personal reaction with the group to model vulnerability
Correct

Incorrect
Question 5 of 10

5. Question
Which statement best reflects objective observation rather than interpretive commentary?
- “You’re clearly holding back because you’re afraid of losing control.”
- “I’m noticing some movement in your legs, and not as much through your trunk yet. What are you sensing?”
- “That tension pattern tells me you have a lot of unresolved anger.”
- “You need to let go more if you want this to work.”
Correct

Incorrect
Question 6 of 10

6. Question
Why are group settings more likely to amplify transference and counter-transference?
- Because groups are inherently unsafe and should be avoided by new providers
- Because the facilitator’s attention is divided, social dynamics add complexity, and the facilitator’s authority is more visible
- Because tremoring in groups is always more intense than in individual sessions
- Because participants in groups are more likely to have trauma histories
Correct

Incorrect
Question 7 of 10

7. Question
When a participant directs strong transference toward you – for example, expressing anger that does not match the situation – the appropriate provider response is to:
- Explain to the participant that their reaction is transference and that it is not about you
- Encourage the participant to examine their childhood attachment patterns
- Maintain the professional container, stay neutral, and invite the participant to notice where they feel the activation in their body
- End the session immediately and refer the participant to a therapist
Correct

Incorrect
Question 8 of 10

8. Question
According to Dr. David Berceli, counter-transference is most likely to arise when the provider is:
- Operating from the level of the organism and making present-moment contact
- Using structured self-reflection questions between sessions
- Operating from their personality – needing to be superior, overly helpful, or wanting to be admired
- Following the standard TRE exercise sequence without modification
Correct

Incorrect
Question 9 of 10

9. Question
A provider notices that they consistently extend sessions with one particular client beyond the usual time. This is best understood as:
- Good practice, because it shows dedication to the client’s process
- A potential sign of counter-transference that warrants self-reflection
- Evidence that the client has complex needs requiring longer sessions
- A scheduling issue unrelated to relational dynamics
Correct

Incorrect
Question 10 of 10

10. Question
When self-reflection is not sufficient to resolve persistent counter-transference patterns, the most appropriate next step is to:
- Stop working with the participant who triggers the reaction
- Seek supervision or peer consultation to gain an outside perspective
- Disclose your counter-transference to the participant and ask for their input
- Push through the feelings and trust that they will resolve with experience
Correct

Incorrect
