i think it's great that we have a dedicated team of mods & administrators here at PC who really try to keep improving the community experience for all of us. so first up - thank you for starting the new section!!!

just an area of confusion, however: transference here gets discussed so often - what it is, what it isn't etc. and most of the threads in the psychotherapy section deal with feelings towards our Ts e.g., trust, alliance, anger, dependence & wanting a parental figure etc.

i'm just wondering if the new section is specifically about romantic/sexual feelings towards our therapists? or if it's just a "general" transference thingy? because if it's meant to be "general", i could see 75% of the threads in here get moved to there, lol.

if it's meant to be the more specific type (discussed in the article DocJohn posted), could we maybe rename the subforum, or have a sticky about what to include there?

i'm just a bit confused about how to break up what i post where, and i do have a tendency to get majorly upset when my threads get moved around - usually because i've agonised over where they're most appropriate first. but that's just me, ack .
