Hi lilmsbubbles
You asked why weren't you told about transference when you started therapy. I've been thinking about starting a new thread on that one:
Before a doctor gives a treatment that might have powerful side-effects they're ethically obliged to warn you about the possible effects, right? Well therapy transference can have such HUGE effects on a person's life, more than many meds etc. And it seems to happen so often. So would it be a good idea if therapists had to warn clients about this possibility?
I think perhaps the reason why people don't walk away is maybe because it's those who most need their therapists (because of the biggest lack when they were small) who 'fall' hardest.
I feel sad and angry that your first therapy was so bad for you.
Would it help if you were to explain again to your new therapist that how you feel about your first t is getting in the way of doing anything about other issues? I don't know if that's a good idea, any suggestions, anyone?
Keep posting.
