I agree with those who believe the T needs to work on their own countertransference issues. Isn't therapy ALL ABOUT TALIKING ABOUT OUR FEELINGS?? Duh! If a T can't handle this then I have to ask myself, why are they Therapists? Talking about feelings is not acting on them.
The first time my T ever (and I don't ever expect he will) tells me a discussion or a feeling or thought is wrong or we shouldn't talk about it I will know to end that "therapy".
I am jealous of my T's wife. I am only human. It doesn't mean I will ever cross any boundary and interject myself into her life. To be able to talk about my feelings in a safe place that helps me understand myself - well that is one of the greatest gifts therapy has to offer.
I hope the client's best interests are served.
Thanks for asking for our input. That makes me feel good.
