Oh -today my computer suddenly registered a week's worth of fascinating messages about therapy and transferences- and here I thought no-one was even posting!
It's great to hear all these thoughts. My analyst seems to be very eager for me to experience every possible feeling in his presence. He particularly likes it when I am able to feel close and loving and safe, whether it's sexually or more as a child. One time, during one of those loving times, he said, "it's a privilege to be your analyst". When these things happen, I think it fills in a little bit of that huge empty space I have inside- and that's what the tranference is really for. He wants me to feel that my hateful, rage-filled part is equally welcome and accepted- that's where I am really struggling to believe that it could be possible.
As to extra-curricular meetings- we both sing chorale music, and occasionally see each other at sing-alongs. I was very fearful about that, but told him I was just going to say hi. give a little wave, and go to the alto section. He laughed and said, "that should work well- I'm not an alto"
