I think I have an issue with transference. I grew up in a happy home, but for some reason did not develop a bond with my family. I know there were some issues close to my birth, which I may need to work thro with a T, but that's a different story altogether.
I tend to have mainly older friends, and especially with females, i think i tend to look up to them to "mother" me.
To a certain extent, I think if I could have this kind of relationship with a T, it may make it easier for me to open up, and at the same stage I think it may hamper my therapy.
I look forward to other replies on this topic, as I too battle with this.
Transference makes me needy, clingy and jealous, and I really hate it.
