In reply to can't seem to get rid of my feelings for therapist, posted by pinkeye on July 14, 2003, at 19:51:59
> It has been one year since I have had the crush on my therapist.. and it never seems to go off. I don't have the courage to bring it up to him either. I have read everything I can about transference but the knowledge does not help my crush. Just venting out my frustration here.
Okay, this is just a personal opinion, and I'm not trying to be hostile. Also, my issues are probably different from yours (plural).
I think transference is a good reason to never go into therapy, esp. w/ a man. Maybe my perspective is skewed, but it seems that a lot of people get into quasi-romantic relationships w/ their therapists, and transference is supposed to be a good thing. I think it just encourages dependency. And I don't want any more unrequited love in my life.
