Negative Transference: I went through a time of really having negative feelings for my therapist .. as he reminded me often of my father or really appreciated things about my dad that frankly pissed me off. I knew that this was not always something that my therapist might enjoy but he told me he would hang in there with me... if it was not forever. I was able to tell him what pissed me off and why and confronted him in many ways. He was strong enough to take this on and it was not overly pleasant for us but it was necessary and powerful work. I appreciate the strength it had to take for my therapist as a man, a person, a therapist, a professional to take this on and allow what needed to happen to happen.
