Attachment to/Transference with Therapist

[TTC18]

It was very noticeable, obnoxious pants that he literally laughed out loud and said I love those pants those are so fun.

That doesn't sound creepy - just a normal response to something like that. :)

I have been looking into the transference I'm experiencing with my T and feel so much better. I'm female and so is my T. I actually thought I fancied her and was attracted to her. I spoke to her about his as I'm in a heterosexual relationship and felt guilty for this. She was very understanding and happy to discuss it whenever I need to.
What I have found is that I have a deep yearning and this is from the past. An emotional flashback as I didn't experience this as a child. So the ache and the yearnung that I have. Is part of my past. I have discovered that I don't in fact fancy her, yes I think she is beautiful but I think this way about many people and women. It's a child's needs met through an adults eyes.
I cannot express enough how important it is to talk this over with your T. I think it will help me to heal over time.

Also I don't feel as though when therapy comes to an end it will be as though I'm being abandoned. It is more like a feeling of mourning something I had with her.

You're not a freak xx this is natural. Finally you're experiencing a healthy attachment and you need to put it in context. I promise it will feel less intense xx

I feel so alone in this. I feel like a creepy, stalker, freak and I feel like there isn’t anyone else who has experienced it with the intensity I am.
