Hi S, welcome to the forum and congrats on making your first post. It sounds like things are going a bit rough to say the least.

I encourage folks in a similar place, to take in the love they feel from their therapist (e.g. the caring attitude, the kind voice etc). Use it to fill you up and warm your heart not only during the session but in between. It is natural that you will feel pain for a time. I like to think of it as the heart opening up.

You may have already found these threads on transference but just in case you missed them, here's one: http://psychcafe.ca/eve/forums...181/m/2051048545/p/1

Best,
Shrinklady
P.S. There's also a long thread on myShrink: Dealing with transference
