Jean Hollywood, the next client of therapist Casey Calvert, is waiting for her in her office. Casey asks them how things have been doing since the last therapy session when Jean shows up. According to Jean, everything has been going well; they've been somewhat busy but not overly anxious. Following the introductions, they talk about Jean's sexuality, a subject they have been talking about for the past few sessions. Jean acknowledges that they haven't made any significant progress in figuring that out yet. All of this has been really perplexing and annoying because people are always trying to identify them. Instead of genuinely getting to know them as individuals, Jean feels that everyone just wants to put them in a box. According to Jean, they have also been having issues with their gender identity. Once more, all people want to do is assign themselves a simple label, yet none of those labels seem to quite fit. Before realizing it didn't appear to fit who they are, they used to identify as transgender. It didn't seem to suit to use other terminology like genderfluid, gender non-conforming, or non-binary. They seem to have tried a lot of different labels, but none of them seem to fit. There are no simple solutions, but perhaps that's the whole idea; after all, people are more complex than a single label or set of tags, so why would Jean even SEEK to assign themselves a straightforward label? Casey is empathetic and kind when Jean speaks. She asks them questions to encourage them to talk even more about their feelings while carefully listening to what they have to say. Jean eventually tells Casey how much they appreciate her real concern and how much they respect After a little pause, Casey gently explains that this is something that frequently occurs in therapy: a client may talk about personal matters so much that they wind up channeling their feelings onto their therapist. We refer to it as "transference. " Jean counters that their feelings for Casey are genuine and that's simply another label. Casey claims that if the two of them took action based on these thoughts, things would change, suggesting that perhaps she has been secretly experiencing similar emotions after all. Jean draws attention to her statement from a prior session that "change can be a positive thing. " After Casey acknowledges that's a valid point, they become more intimate.
