What would that be, a transference transference?
<<Umm.. I'm not exactly sure what it would be. It wouldn't be countertransference, but I'm not sure if it would be transference transference either. You may want to look it up! :)<<It really started bugging me, so I called my therapist. Now, I wish I hadn't. I just feel like a jerk. And I hate feeling like a jerk. I admitted that I was testing him in a big way, to see if he would stand his ground. He said he handled the situation as he would any other situation with any other client. He said that in the future, if I were depressed and needed help boosting my self esteem then he would say that I am a beautiful woman. We seemed to argue. He then asked if I would just rather him not call me beautiful at all. I said I would rather him call me beautiful all the time, but that is not the point. I told him I felt like he just gave in to my demands, like so many other people. He says he didn't, that this is how he would handle other cases. I told himI'm not around those other cases. I think he finally saw my point. I admitted that I waste a lot of time and he agreed. So, next week, he's going to try to not let me waste so much time and I'm going to try not to waste so much time. Hmmmm... we'll see about that :)
