Hi SatinDoll,
I'd love to get my hands on that book. I'm really curious as to what T's really think about us.
A week ago I had no idea what transference was, now I'm pacing the floor waiting for my copy of "In Session" to arrive.
I really thought I was losing my marbles. My T brought up the subject of her daughters and some nice childhood story about them and I actually felt jealous. Therapy has now become much more fascinating to me now that I've discovered what this is all about.
>>I guess in a way it burst the fantasy bubble for me thinking that maybe what I see and feel isn't real, it is only transference. Well after looking at this book, it is like those feelings are real, and it trains the T on how to best deal with them for the best therapy results.>>Does that mean they don't think any of it ties into childhood or past relationships? They just take the feelings at face value?
Uh oh. I just scheduled a phone session for Monday to discuss my feelings of anger and maternal transference.
Have you read "In Session" ? Should I read the book before my session? Do you have any transference probs w/your T? Have you talked with him and how did it go?
Thanks,
happykat :)
