So I'm seeing this new t for about two months. Just the other time I told her that with my first t (this goes back about ten years ago, a t I worked with for five years) it felt so different, like I was infatuated with her....and that here I don't feel it....maybe because I'm in a different stage....She confirmed it by saying I was probably more vulnerable back then....
Later in the session she says she was reading an article...and she thought of me...
What can I say, I began to feel cozy inside of me....that she thought of me...kinda bridges the gap of disconnect....and I began having warm and fuzzy feelings inside of me....even had a dream about her this morning....in which she was the soothing mothering figure....
Thinking whether this is the beginnings of a ''positive transference''
And then thinking whether there being a positive transference makes for the possibility of a 'negative transference'.... And once there's a negative transference (rupture) there's opportunity for working through of the negative transference....which I believe is a mainstay of therapy.
Awaiting your insightful thoughts....
