So, that's been the benefit of a few rough scrapes with transference in therapy. So why the hell couldn't a therapist somewhere down the line have taken me aside and said, hey, this is what might happen...and this is the lesson that you could glean from it...instead, I just foundered through. Honestly? This board has helped me sort through this MUCH more than any therapist ever did, and I have had some good ones!
Maybe they just lose perspective on this!

I'm the same, i have learnt so much from this board and it's really helped me be more honest in therapy because i know the things i worry about admitting or feeling are "normal" for a lot of people in therapy and that therapists will have encountered my thoughts and issues many times before.
I just feel sorry for people who haven't found boards like this and maybe quit therapy because they are ashamed of their feelings surrounding therapy or the therapist.
