i think it's really good to talk about. i've been told that it tends to diminish after you talk about, but so far that hasn't been my experience. but it does increase the trust and intimacy, and if nothing else, it's an ego boost for your T.no, you're not supposed to end up jumping each others' bones, although i wish that was what happened. if your T is good, he should make sure that doesn't happen. you may both get turned on, though, and that's ok. it's just human.
i've been struggling recently because i've been getting sexually aroused during our sessions and she asks me what i'm feeling and i'm too embarrassed to admit to it. but she should be able to handle this. so i hope i can figure out a way to tell her this next time.
> Wow. I have never talked about transference. Especially not that kind. But whenever I have a male clinician who I get along with I get it real bad... I don't know if I would be too embarrased to talk about it though. I don't even talk about relationships or flings or anything like that, or if I do the subject gets changed - for which I am grateful. I think... Does it get better if you talk about it? You won't just end up jumping each others bones???
