Oh, Poet! I'm so sorry you're going through this.
Could it be that you're not experiencing transference so much as trying to protect yourself from a therapeutic relationship that isn't working for you? That's been on my mind today about my pdoc. I'm feeling totally hopeless, but concentrating on my anger towards him has me concentrating on how I'd like to tell him how damaging his treatment of me is, rather than concentrating on how to kill myself. That's not ideal, but it probably *is* better. Could you be doing something like that, unconsciously, for yourself?
Just one idea, and I'm sure it's projection on my part. (Poster to poster transference?)
Whatever, I'm listening, too, and hope it turns around for you soon.
