Neat idea. It's interesting to read what everyone has to say...
1) How long have you been with CURRENT T? Did you have a previous T?
On and off since I was 18 (apx 8 years ago). Just recently began seeing her again about 3 months ago.2) Is your T male or female?
Female3) What is the orientation of your T? Did you know when you started with T?
A mix of CBT (cognitive behavioral) and psychodynamic.4) Are you older, younger, or same age as T?
She's about 15 years older than me.5) What type of transference have you experienced? Do you think it is limited by your T's age or gender? I've experienced a lot of maternal transference. Probably because I began seeing her as a teen after some neglect issues I experienced during my teen years, so I was looking for someone like that. Also, I know she feels some maternal feelings towards me.
6) Do you look at your T? How frequently? (I mean literally at their face when talking)
Yes, pretty much all the time during sessions. Sometimes I stop looking if I'm getting frustrated that she's talking too much in hopes she'll get the hint... haha. It doesnt usually work.7) What is your greatest fear of your T? That she'll stop liking me and I'll stop being "special" to her. We have a special relationship and I fear losing that place in her mind.
8) Do you just let yourself "be" in T? Or are you composed and careful? In the past I've been a lot more open and free, but now I find myself being careful. My carefulness is because I'm afraid shes severely misunderstanding me in some ways and I fear giving her any more ammo towards that. I'm working on explaining that very thing to her though.
