This question has really been bothering me lately.
I have read in many places that idealization of ones T can serve various functions, e.g. to avoid feeling angry. There must be others, although thats the one thats usually cited. I dont like the phrase idealization (applied to my relationship with my T) but I do feel a type of love for him warmth, trust, gratitude, caring etc. Is that idealization? Maybe Im being too literal about the term. I know that many on this board also have loving feelings for their Ts. Do you consider those warm feelings idealization? Are you aware of anything lurking underneath those feelings?
I am confused about these concepts.
Thanks, Lucie
