I am currently making the experience that I have very strong maternal transference towards my therapist. 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 had with my parents... it hurts so intensely deep and profound that she said "I'm not your mum, I'm only your therapist and I'll never be more than that". Part of me consciously knows that, part of me (guess my unconscious hurt parts) doesn't wanna accept this... I dream about her a lot, mostly about spending time with her,she getting personal with me,treating me like a mum.
EVen if she said she often feels sorry, when I am hurt and doesn't want me to be hurt, it doesn't make this intense pain and desires go away..
anyone of you experienced this and HOW did your therapist reacted and dealt with it to help you eventually resolve this? ALSO at what point would you say it it might be better change therapists? I'm not too sure...
