WinterRose, could you ask your pdoc to talk to your therapist? Sounds like some conferring between them might be helpful. If a therapist is having some challenges with a client, I think the typical thing is for him to consult with another T. (And maybe it shouldn't be your T.) I know your pdoc is not a T, but maybe he needs to consult with a T or whoever supervises him for some advise on how to handle the transference/countertransference that is going on with you.

My T told me about some countertransference going on last time we met. It was helpful to me to know it was happening. And I think getting it out was good. He also told me he is handling it really well and I believe him. It is not going to get in the way of my therapy. It sounds like your pdoc has acknowledged the countertransference but hasn't been able to provide the necessary assurances that he can handle it.
