Hi Poet,
Sorry for the delay in responding--my life has become super nuts these days. Anyway, this is quite interesting. I just hope that your therapists's son doesn't get in the way of your therapy. You sound good and okay about it but I would wonder a bit. I think we all need to be really careful of projecting our own experiences onto someone else's but hopefully your therapist knows when this can be helpful and when it's not.

> My T has always been very open with me that she sees traits in me that her son has. Since she talked to Dr. Clueless, she is telling me more about how her son has struggled with many of the same *differences* in sensory integration that I may (or may NOT) have.

> Example- I have poor motor coordination. He has poor motor coordination. I don't like social situations. He doesn't like social situations. You get the picture. He's grown, so it's not like she's comparing me to a little kid. Though I wish she was because this means (sob) I am (sob) old enough to be his mother since T isn't much older than me.

> I'm not uncomfortable being compared to her son, it really only annoys me when my T is off base on something about me that I disagree with. I disagree a lot lately and tell her so.

> I know that this could be counter transference, too. Which I assume she can handle if it is. I don't want my T stalking me. I sure wouldn't stalk her. No transference on this end.
