Deli, I've been concerned too. Therapy is so much about the feelings toward the therapist that this is talked about in just about every thread in the psychotherapy forum. In addition, you can have lots of feelings toward your therapist without them being transference, so it seems strange to me to lump "feelings toward my therapist" in with "transference."

As I wrote in another thread, I'm worried they are going to split up the psychotherapy forum into a bunch of subforums to talk about separate issues, like EMDR, CBT, transference, boundary crossings, the therapeutic frame, termination, choosing a therapist, etc. So much of all of this is intertwined. Abd we have such a nice community here--I don't want to see the administrators breaking that up.

I would like to ask the moderators to let people make the choice on whether they start a thread in the main Psychotherapy forum or the Transference subforum. Don't move a thread started in PT to Transference just because it may be related to transference. Leave it up to the original poster to decide which community and forum he/she wants to start the thread in. Is that possible?

I also wonder if a moderator could share with us why a separate subforum was started. Were there requests for that from members? Were some people uncomfortable posting directly about transference in the Psychotherapy forum?

In his explanatory thread in the Transference subforum, DocJohn wrote:
I thought we already had a place to discuss transference issues and feelings toward the therapist that was supportive and helpful. But I guess having a subforum would give an extra "layer" of protection for people who would feel more comfortable with that. But please, moderators, don't move threads started in the PT forum even if you think they are related to transference and feelings. Trust a person to know which forum they want their thread in. Thanks.
