And part of it may be some disclosures about himself that he maybe oughtn't have made, and that have me seeing him differently. I
don't know. Certainly the more you know about the other person, the harder it is to hold onto transference. Thus the blank slate.I thought moving through transference was a *goal* of therapy. Is it? (I really
