I just think that some clients develope feelings of transference for their therapists as a way of dealing with former relationships in the past. A therapist, if trained properly, should know how to deal with these feelings accurately and professionally. I do not believe that an experienced therapist will abandon a client on the sole account that the client is developing feelings towards the therapist, whether they are sexual or motherly, ect. If a therapist does, then the client if far better off to find a new therapist who is better equiped to handle such feelings and emotions. When seeing a therapist, it is so important to be honest with him or her. I know how much my current therapist has helped me and I look forward to the progress we will continue to make in the future.
