Attachment is-
I like my family
I love my significant other
I like my therapist
I love my therapist
Transference is -
transfering (moving) something
transfer (move) a lamp from a table to a desk
transfer (move) from one job position to another
Transfer (move) fron california to michigan
transfer (move) from one therapist who can no longer help you to another new one that can help you
Transferance in a therapy session is taking a problem from inside yourself and putting it onto a therapist to be worked out
client - "you are just like my abuser" (client has transfered(moved) their own view of their abuser onto the therapist)
therapist - how do I remind you of your abuser
client - you are yelling at me
therapist - Im am sorry you feel like I am yelling at you like your abuser did...
a love of a therapist as transference is -
therapist - you did a great job today
client with a crush on therapist thinking - she's in love with me (client has transfered (moved) their own love for their therapist into their therapist)
the original poster said that she/he had the hots for the therapist not the therapist had the hots for her. So she is not transfering her own feelings for her therapist into and onto her therapist.
