I have always critized my T. on these boards and sometimes to her face. I have the usual transference thing too. Sometimes it is neg. sometimes pos. The transference is there though. I am envious of her intelligence and insight. Her boundaries are the strongest I have ever come across. I think that when working with borderlines a T. needs these boundaries or she would burn out in a week. She has told me that 'I'm a piece of cake'. She told me that she has had chairs thrown at her and alot of verbal stuff thrown at her too.
Yesterday, I was late as usual. She never goes over the alloted time. So I am the one losing out. She asked me why I am always late and I said that I have alot of ambivalence about therapy. She agreed about the ambivalence and said "get over it" and accept that you are in therapy. I actually appreciated that statement. I think it will help with the ambivalence. She will be away for awhile and like many others, I think, I am afraid she will not come back. She has tolerated alot from me, but I have also tolerated alot from her. Anyway, I just needed to say all this. terrics
