“Reflective practice allows us to learn from our experiences and identify changes we could consider for similar future encounters.”
“Reflective practice is about revisiting an encounter you have had to deliberate about what happened, especially your role in it. This includes your mannerisms, body language, behaviour and thinking at the time and the emotions that were involved.”
Rev A V Ruddle MTh BD GDip Counselling

Chapter Three
Tudor and Merry (2006) define ‘transference’ as ‘the displacement of an emotion or attitude from one person to another person..
When people make assumptions about a chaplaincy visit, those assumptions are often religious stereotypes. They can be based on previous religious experiences, how the chaplain looks, how chaplaincy members talk, or the jargon used.
When transference influences the encounter with a person, we may experience negativity, affecting our ability to form a relationship with them.
