In reply to moving beyond transference, posted by LG04 on November 27, 2004, at 11:14:53
I had a pretty intense transference with my T, which followed what I know know as transference that happened for several years with a few different people (all women).
Whilst on 2 of these occasions I moved away from the area (which was very painful at the time, but stopped the transference), twice the feelings associated with transfernce have subsided of thier own accord. This was most apparent with my T, where after a year or so I began to internalise her, rather than having to have her there. Ofcourse I still loved to see her, I respected her, and it was sad when I had to leave, but nothing like the pain of her vacations when I was in the transference stage.
I didn't tell her about this, but she may have known - so there is hope for us all.
