Thanks for understanding, cubic_me. You said this has been going on since you were 11? same with me. I develop it with both men and women, tho mostly men. Sometimes it is sexual, sometimes not. I think it's amazing that you are able to distance yourself from these people when it happens. Does that help to get rid of the feelings or is it still just as difficult? I wish I could just put this professor out of my head, or get some distance from it. Instead, I am waiting for his e-mails every minute, interpreting and re-interpreting what he says, etc. Also, that's interesting that you've never talked about it in therapy. Have you talked to your therapist about your transference for him/her? I can't say that talking about it (esp when you have an idea of where it is coming from--the "mothering" problem) really helps that much. It feels more like my T is just this voice of reality but I can't really process what she says.
Good luck things and thanks for your post.
Allison
