I don't fully understand this 'transferance' thing either... does it
always apply? From what I've read I think I understand romantic/erotic transferance, and also cases where someone might make T into a 'mommy' or 'daddy' figure... but I don't see my T in any of those ways, so...? Can one not just think his or her T is a great T? A nice or admirable person? A figure of wisdom and insight who has the right tools and attitude to help? What type/s of transferance is/isn't that?

This therapy thing is fascinating to me, and I'm learning so much through these forums...
Anyway, I'm happy that you've found a therapist to suit you, MickG! That's nice to hear.
