hi Mel,
I think it's hard to see it when you're IN it, though? I mean, if *I* have transference, it might be near impossible for me to get that I do.
I mean, I'm sure you're right -- given that transference is not reserved only for therapists, but can be applied to ANYONE we meet, anywhere -- I'm sure I do have transference feelings of some kind for Dr. Bob. I don't know him, so of course I'm going to make assumptions about what kind of person he is based on the little information I have.I extrapolate AND interpolate using tidbits and stuff he posts, and just the general knowledge about this site.
But I don't have a "crush" on him, nor do I think about him when I'm not posting, nor do I really wonder too much about him. I probably wonder LESS about him than I do about some of the posters here, because to me the posters are more REAL. I know more about them, so I end up caring more about them, and hoping that they're doing OK.
What do you think? Do you think that YOU have transference for Dr. Bob of any kind?
