I had to answer you Allison before calling it a night. I think fantasies are all part of the transference process, but you are absolutely right it is the therapist's job to keep you safe. I don't know if I would equate it to incest, but the tremendous guilt I felt (and still feel) is very much like the feelings I have as an abuse survivor. I keep thinking I give off some kind of signals that say 'hey use me, I have no self-respect.' The therp who helped me through this right after was completely enraged and felt I was caused great harm. I of course thought I deserved it. I know, wrong thinking, but it's still there. Thanks for the words of encouragement. take care, judy
