One of those damned if you do, damned if you don't type situations. If the former t did not experience counter-transference, that makes me unlovable/undesirable. If he did that is difficult to accept and respond to. Because where do you go from there?

Does that make any sense? Glad you are exploring these issues regardless. Thanks for your post and the topic! And good luck with your former t, let us know how it goes- I, for one, am interested.
Well, if correctly handled, the client never becomes aware of it, and it's never an issue. But in this case (and in mine) it ran amok and destroyed the therapeutic alliance. Mine was never repaired and remains a painful wound. Hopefully Clinpsycstudent will be able to get some proper closure to help with healing.
