from the T's perspective, we have to know when we share that the T reserves the right to respond or not, depending on their treatment approach or personality style. just because we say it, doesn't mean they have to meet the need in the way we might think. and if we can't accept the T setting a boundary with us, we shouldn't set ourselves up. with a T who does mainly cognitive behavioral treatment, there isn't as much emphasis on the relationship.
from the client perspective, we find there are some therapists who encourage clients to say everything on their mind, but then they don't have the training or depth to know what to do with it. just saying it isn't a cure. working it through is, but not all Ts are equipped to help us get down to what these transference feelings mean. so we can get disappointed, and understandably so.
