I thought it interesting about the comment made about it didn't matter whether you're gay or not, there can still be transference. Hmm. I'm gonna have to think about that. My other therps have always been female and older than me and I guess I was okay with that because I may have been looking for a mother figure and they filled the bill.

The one I have now is younger. But I do have to say, although I do not have any romantic feelings toward any of them, I can say I loved them because they seemed to care and help me. Is that transference? I've never admitted these things to my therps. I just thought that when exposing your intimate feelings about things and getting validation and empathy, it is natural to love them in a non-sexual way. Am I wrong. Hope that's not a stupid question but I have never thought about transference before.
