Mine is only a couple of years older than me, but I look real young for my age so that, combined with my "feeling" very young at times, made it work real well. And I think she sort of has a maternal instinct thing going anyway, so she doesn't have to work hard at it. I have to say though, that although she specifically encouraged attachment and very easily talked to me about emotionally intimate things that made me cringe, we've never really discussed the transference itself. It's like she knows what's going on, and I know what's going on, but I'm not completely sure she realizes how aware I am of what's going on. There's something about that that sustains the magic. I can tap into it whenever I need it, and it's always available, but I don't have to deal with actually admitting outloud that I need something. She's attuned to me. And never tries to push any of it on me, but when I'm trying to tap into it, as a rule, she responds.
