Reply to "Update on Transference"

strummergirlMember

Hi Passionate Pursuit, and welcome to the forum!

I found this site by googling "transference" too. And I read all the threads on it before jumping in as well. So I can really relate.

I'm sorry you are feeling so much pain and confusion over the feelings you are having for your therapist, and about therapy in general. A lot of us have been there, done that, and have the T-shirt (well, actually, I don't have the T-shirt yet, but I'm working on it

). I recognize a LOT of my thoughts and feelings in what you described, so no, you are definitely not alone.

Have you been able to talk about the feelings you are having with your current T? If not, do you think she would be open to it?

I'm glad you found this site and hope you can draw some encouragement and hope from us, no matter where we are on our therapy journies.

Take care,
SG
