she reminds me in different aspects of a couple very dear friends, one more in the appearance/full-figured shape, the other by her unnerving directness (which this friend was/is quite known for!)
however, where I see the most symbolism (or transference if you will) is toward my current best friend, because in that relationship I have somewhat felt as though my friend were like a counselor/confidant more than just a .....I always wondered why there was an unequal feeling (not that we don't share a lot in common....) but a while ago, I realized it was because there was a therapeutic feel in our friendship - she IS the type who is a giver, a listener, a caretaker, a burden-bearer, her door is open to anyone in need, so she has been a huge support to me, but it felt a little lop-sided, because she shared less of her burden (and she's like this in general, not asking for her needs or thinking of them) with me than I shared of mine with her. And she expected it that way.....so no flippin' wonder it felt unequal, there was a therapist feel to her friendship! Anyway, my T relationship helped me see that....so maybe this friend is the one who my T reminds me most of....
