Most of us are terrified that our therapists have strong negative countertransferential feelings for us.There's a good quote in there about counter-transference, but I don't have it with me now. But don't worry, strong negative feelings aren't the usual response to idealization. :-)
> isn't it possible that we have feelings for you that aren't entirely transferential? And isn't it possible that you have one or two genuine feelings for us, too?
Sure!
