This is pretty much in line with mainstream....unfortunately....

Freud (1915b) thought the psychoanalytic situation itself created a seduction. I think what makes people seductive, is our feeling that they’re being real with us. When we are real and honest with someone, they feel emotionally engaged by the experience, and we have therefore, been successfully seductive in that interaction.

I prefer that over "immersed in and at the same time distant from the patient’s experience,". Which is why my T rocks! She isnt distant We are engaged mutually

"In general, analysts and therapists committed to a relational approach engage the clinical situation as inherently intersubjective and shaped by mutual influence and must be conducted in a way that incorporates this fact"
