Psychological transference is a redirection of internal feelings onto often unrelated external sources. Media therapy is an examination of one’s transference; what you put into media when you watch it, not what you take out of it. Art is a perfect medium for pulling emotions from us and transference analysis is key in understanding not only subconscious triggers, but also unlocking deep levels of understanding of how we inadvertently connect unrelated things to unrealized trauma and emotional disturbance. Media therapy is NEVER really about the show being viewed and is ALWAYS about the student who is viewing it.
