In reply to Attachment vs. transference, posted by pegasus on October 8, 2010, at 9:47:41
We got into this a bit on Friday. I was going on about the pain of ending therapy with my old T, and wanting to know how it was supposed to happen, if it could happen the right way.
My T described having long time clients from the past email him periodically to update him about their lives, and how he responded to that. Then he commented about that "transference". I said, "Why is that transference?" I was thinking that it sounded like they were communicating with him because of their attachment, not because of their transference.
His response? "We'll have to talk about that next week." Of course.
