    Emotional Intimacy/ closeness in therapy

    Well I have felt this transference towards a teacher a few years ago but I'd say this time it's stronger. But in both cases it was/is the same type. Yes I know that it would be complete unethical from her so she keeps the professional boundaries up, even if they really hurt Not too sure if...

    Well , quite honestly I really want and crave to be really emotionally close to her, want her to like me more than her other patients, basically I'm looking for a strong (therapeutical) bond between her and me, like really close (her checking up on me in-between sessions & being allowed to even...

    Emotional Intimacy/ closeness in therapy

    How exactly or specifically does therapeutic emotional intimacy / closeness between the patient and Therapist look like and feel like? And how to know if a therapist might be overly distant, more than the required professional distance?

    Dealing with transference in therapy

    Yes she hasn't finished her studies yet (in Germany you have to study, then do a seperate education for becoming for example a analytic or behavioral therapist, where they have to do 4 year practical practise so she indeed works as a therapist already and therefore they have strong supervision...

    Dealing with transference in therapy

    Yes I actually brought it up within the phone call and I mean it's good that she seems to try really hard to give me what I need (at least therapeutically) and that we'll pull this situation (where this intense pain was caused by her telling me what she did) through the schema model in our next...

    Dealing with transference in therapy

    But she is concerned and often asks me what she could do better in the future so those for example anger moments by me can be avoided and that we now agreed on clearer communication and that she'll explain things more detailed so that I the room for my misinterpretations are as small as...

    Dealing with transference in therapy

    Well I'm not sure if she is able to handle all this in a way it should be handled. We just had a phone call and she told me that we'll look at my wounded hurt inner child and the needs that were deeply inconsistently or even consistently unmet in childhood and to help it so it doesn't get...

    Dealing with transference in therapy

I deeply want her to be my mum, that I'm liked more than other patients and am more important, I miss her so much in-between sessions, I also really long for a deep connection that I've never...

    Occasionally too much contact with a therapist

    Yes it was not a conversational think in case you mean texting like a would text a friend. She just shows me that I have her support as a therapist and it makes me feel safe, connected and seen/heard.

    Occasionally too much contact with a therapist

    Yes definitely. You know that's what my fwsr or better to say feeling is; that I do overstep her boundaries even if she hasn't said so... I have the feeling, I don't deserve this extra support too much because if she'd offer that to every patient , she wouldn't have any private life . Not too...

    Occasionally too much contact with a therapist

    So I'm a bit scared to be honest. There was a flood in my city and other cities around me and my therapist checked in with me to see if I'm ok. Well this was 6 days ago and since then we've been texting back and forth almost every day (therapeutic nature of course), and she really seems to care...

    Emotional Dependency on therapist/emotional pain

    By that I meant that I'm jealous because those other patients get the same attention, care , attunement as I get and I want her to like me most.. regarding her daughter I noticed that I felt quite rejected when she rescheduled a session 2 weeks ago because her daughter got sick and it felt like...

    Emotional Dependency on therapist/emotional pain

    Thank you for your reply. Well I think it's definitely best to talk about those feelings again after her holiday (as stuffing those missing her tremendously feelings down will only make it worse) and see how she'll react.

    Hi guys, I need your advice/help. So I've been seeing my new therapist for 10 weeks now& she respectively said she doesn't want patients to become too dependent on her.. Well I got super angry at her & felt rejected and left alone and she said this rule would be for patients protection so they...
