> Does this mean that you will be having therapy on a regular basis with both a man and a woman? I have always assumed that, regardless of the gender of the therapist we see, we develop transferences based on our own unresolved problems; for example, my present T (male) sometimes appears to be my mother, emotionally, and at other times he feels more like my father. Are you finding that you have a mother transference towards your female therapist, and that you have sought out (and found) a male with whom to work on father issues? >>
..yes, you're right. My female T agrees that I need to work this out with a male, too. She is encouraging this, as long as it remains helpful to me. It's funny, but she helps me interpret my therapy with him, which helps put so much in perspective. Our whole viewpoint is that if the therapy becomes abusive, I'm out the door. And i'm strong enough to do that now. I don't mean if it just becomes difficult--I'm sure it will, but if it becomes abusive to me.
