feeling pretty anxious and scared - Core beliefs, missing one’s therapist, transference, & self soothing

[Mach123]

I actually have maternal transference with the therapist because it was my mother who abused me (first). However, I’ve never heard that term before, and I want to think it over and read some more of this thread.

the term maternal transference? or a different one?
It's newish to me too, I've been learning about it slowly since I recognized what was going on in therapy.
I really like the book mother hunger by kelly mcdaniel, but I had to read it in little chunks because it could easily overwhelm me.

Yes, maternal transference was the reference. Yes, depending where you are in the process being careful about what you read is wise. I’m very careful about what I read here which was why I said I’d get back and read some of this later. I’m much better now about that at least. Certain things strike me though and I respond more now that I used . This took many years for me.
