Wendy,
I just wanted to respond to your lovely words of encouragement. A few days ago, I was ready to stop therapy and just "get my therapist out of my life completely", and reading your message again has made me rethink things. It seems like your experience going thru and resolving the transference issues with the therapist to whom they were directed really has changed your life for the better. I do see the way this relationship mirrors early parental experiences, and I am really hoping that talking this out with my therapist a bit more may help me to cool down and gain perspective. She is a cognitive behaviorist by training, so I think her desire to investigate the past is outweighed by her focus on changing the future...which I suppose in the end isn't a bad thing. But I just wanted to let you know that I so appreciate your words of support and your positive take on the issue. Thanks!
Take care--
Allison
