In reply to Is there such thing as negative Transference? or.., posted by Angela2 on January 11, 2005, at 16:27:06
Hello Angela
You obviously have already gathered that there *is* negative transference.
But there are also things we will like and dislike about them. The same of everyone else in the world.
I went through times when I hated my T, but really I was hating myself and projecting on him my horrible opinion of myself.
All of that said, if you talk about these things with her, it might turn out that you are not suited to each other. Especially if she doesn't respond to the subject in a way that you feel ok about.
I have certainly been in a funk after many sessions.
I believe that talking about it between the two of you is the only way to determine if your discomfort is a part of the process, or if you should be working with a different therapist.
I hope you can work this out soon.
