You're right, it's very CBT.
All I can say is that I've been locked in transference with certain types of men my whole life and the experiences I had as a child w/my father have never been worked out. I recognize that now when I meet certain men because my warning signals go off. But I've never worked it through to completion. I have to in order to get to the core of my love/hate feelings for my father--I've never let the anger out and I have a disproportionate amount of love for him that doesn't fit the situation.
By being the "Doctor," my pdoc models the "corrective" behavior, but the question remains that as we get in deeper (which we are just starting to do), will he be able to handle it and act appropriately? Mostly I know he won't be as available as my T and he will keep his boundaries.Will I flip over that? I don't know. But I have my T.
I hate CBT, although I admit some of it has definitely worked on me.
thanks for your thoughtful response. I really appreciate it.
