Thanks for this. You're right. It might very well be there, but funneled through the appropriate channels in therapy. Hmm.

I would not want and luckily it does not happen with me, but I imagine it is not an uncommon occurrence in clients.

Well, your one T is so harsh and awful, I wouldn't want it to happen with her, either!

Interesting. I definitely get "maternal vibes" from her. I find it comforting.
