Is it possible to experience transference with your therapist after you have already experienced it once? My therapist told me that when I am feeling angry or upset at her, that that is considered transference because in reality Im not really upset with her but that there is an underlying issue...and something else that Im really dealing with and my frustration can seem like it is towards her when really it isnt. Am I making any sense? She wanted me to do a homework assignment and to bring it to her next week at our next session but I already know that Im not going to be able to do it...and I got really annoyed ..(i didnt tell her) but I knew right away that I wasnt going to be able to complete the assignment and I was feeling as if she were one of my parents telling or "suggesting" that I do something and it is something that i dont want to do...But i dont want to upset her if i dont do it...am i going through transference again? What can I do about it if it is? I dont know what im going though right now...everything else is fine and dandy I just felt really stubborn when she told me to do something and I didnt want to do it. help me figure this out if you can...and also a little side note for everyone that has been responding to my post....I just wanted to say that I am greatful for every response i get...Im not having time to thank everyone that posts things to me..but, please know that I am very greatful...:)
