The Clinician's Mirror: A Story of Projection, Self-Discovery, and Healing

By Karen Dubin, Lorie Meiselman, Mardoche Sidor

What if your strongest reactions in the therapy room weren't obstacles-but reflections of your own inner world?

Every moment in the therapy room-every frustration, affinity, resistance, or emotional charge, is a mirror-not just of your patient or client, but of you. This book invites clinicians to turn toward those reflections, using them as tools for growth, healing, and deeper therapeutic impact.

The Clinician's Mirror is a poetic, clinical, and scientific journey into the world of projection. Blending real clinical encounters, neuroscience, psychoanalytic theory, and grounded therapeutic practice, it transforms what it means to sit with another-and to sit with ourselves.

You'll discover:

- Why what you react to in others reveals what is unexamined in you

- How to turn countertransference into insight and self-awareness

- Techniques for using projection to deepen connection and healing

- How every patient becomes a teacher when we learn to truly see

Whether you're a seasoned therapist or just beginning your journey, this book will challenge, inspire, and transform how you see others-and how you see yourself.
