I sorta told mine in stages... First it was "I wish we had met at a different time and place." Then it progressed to "I can't help thinking that we would have been very good together." And finally it was "I love you." Of course that was said WITH lots of tears and NO eye contact... It was everything I could do to not run screaming from the room!! I seriously thought I was losing my mind.

But she was great with it. Thank God. So tender and loving. Made it all seem normal. And since we have talked about the reasons behind those feelings and how that transference is crucial to my therapy givenall the unmet needs as a child.

Good luck!! I see you've had a pretty bad experience so far with this. I hope that if you have to address it again you'll be better recieved.
