In reply to Do therapists help you in overcoming transference?, posted by pinkeye on February 25, 2004, at 18:17:26
It depends on the therapist. It may also depend on the orientation of therapy that they do (CBT, Psychodynamic, humanistic etc.)
My CBT therapist didn't even recognize that I had a transference. My Psychodynamic therapist handles them with incredible skill - and makes everything all better. I'm not saying that CBT therapists can't or don't help with transference - just that my particular one was not helpful.
I would suggest that you bring the subject back up and ask what he would suggest for you to do. Ask him if he intends to help you with this.
