Reply to "Update on Transference"

sprintinggalMember

I'm following all of the discussion here with interest as I can totally relate.

I was supposed to hear from Dr. X about labs a week ago and I have not and my immediate thought was that he didn't want to talk to me or he doesn't want to to be my doctor anymore. In reality it probably has little to do with me but I feel slighted and a little abandoned. He used to call me about my labs the moment they became available.

Does anyone think of their transference object as a security blanket, someone who can protect them? I think this of Dr.X and when I can't sleep I imagine him in bed with me, his arms wrapped around me, protecting me from evil.
