Transference can feel so good

Posted by crushedout on January 23, 2004, at 9:00:11


I feel so good these days. I still feel like I'm "in love" with my T, but it feels good to love her, to think about her, even though I know (basically) that I can never "have" her. It's enough to know that she knows that I want her and to know that it makes her feel good and that she likes me very much. I can tell she does and that she enjoys my company. I feel that I make her happy.

Right now this doesn't feel bittersweet or painful. It just feels good.

I can't recall ever having this kind of transference with any of my myriad shrinks, pdocs etc. I didn't even know what I was missing until I found this site!

Now I'm in a very intense therapy setting, in which the only 'transference' that might be taking place is when the therapist's supervisor/head of observing team gives her feedback through her earpiece. I can't hear what he says, only that it's a male voice. It irritates me that it's a man's voice telling a woman what to do, and I suppose this could be transference of my resentment of the patriarchal religious system in which I was raised.

I have to agree with terrics... Beware transference and those shrinks who feed the beast!!! One day it may come back to bite you in the butt!! :)

But, I'm glad that you are enjoying it! I have to agree that it does feel good, for awhile... [Start horror music]
