Yeah I don't think I'd want to be friends with mine. I mean I do feel sometimes that I want to be her friend, and I do have this strange transference attraction going on, but to be honest I would never, ever want anything to move beyond the therapist/client relationship. It just wouldn't work. It's better to have the strange "fantasies" and realise that that's both exactly what they are, and what they're meant to be - just fantasies that reveal something about me, rather than anything else. Wow, that's good to realise actually. Makes the whole thing feel less screwed up.
