[TransFixed] Transference – Jean Hollywood & Casey Calvert (720p)
In a therapist's office, Casey Calvert awaits her next client, Jean Hollywood. Upon Jean's arrival, they discuss how things have been since their last session, noting a busy but manageable period. The conversation shifts to the ongoing topic of Jean's sexuality, where Jean expresses confusion and frustration over societal pressures to label their identity. Jean shares their struggle with gender identity, mentioning that previous labels they identified with—such as trans, genderfluid, and non-binary—no longer feel accurate. They reflect on the complexity of human identity and question the need for a simple label. Throughout the session, Casey listens attentively and empathetically, encouraging Jean to explore their feelings. As the session progresses, Jean expresses admiration for Casey's genuine care and reveals their feelings for her. Casey acknowledges the occurrence of "transference," a common phenomenon in therapy where clients develop feelings for their therapists. However, Jean insists their feelings are authentic. Casey, having secretly harbored similar feelings, acknowledges that acting on these emotions would alter the therapeutic dynamic. Jean reminds Casey that change can be positive, leading to a moment of closeness between them.
