I just blogged about transference with my pdoc. I had all kinds of fantasies about him. I talked it over with my sponsor and therapist. It came down to me wanting him to fill voids in my life...and the need to be accepted by somebody--accepted by somebody who understands my mental illness and accepts me anyway. Although it was embarrassing at first, I soon realized that--after I talked with my pdoc about it--I was much more trusting and respectful of him. It turned out to be a positive thing.
