Summary/Abstract: Working with depressive clients burdens therapists themselves significantly. This article offers a theoretical frame for describing therapists’ experience, which appear in the therapy situation with a depressive client. A model resulting from a qualitative study is presented: the therapists’ experience is conceptualized as “Experiential oscillation” between gravitating towards a clients’ depressive experience and moving away from it. It’s evolvement over the course of a session is depicted by a model of “Depression Co-experiencing Trajectory” with six phases: 1. Sharing depressive experience, 2. Turning to oneself, 3. Striving for symptom change, 4. Distancing from depressive experience, 5. Turning to a client, 6. Focusing on relationship.
