Hi Myself,

Thanks for posting this...... I do understand the idea now of transference and attachment.

But..... I'm still not all that clear on transference itself. I'm wondering...... is it always positive?? For about a three month span last year in therapy.... I kept hearing a voice in my head saying --- " I hate him, I hate him", referring to my therapist. I finally asked myself..... why do I hate him? I realized it wasn't him I really hated... but the things he was helping me to see that my mother did to me.

So, I was wondering..... was that transference that I felt for my mom-- being transferred to my T? or is transference just the positive feelings we missed out on that are brought about, do to a kind and caring therapist?

Wishing you well,
