Most of my transference issues have been with my pdoc. Sometimes, they are just plain out sexual fantasies. Sometimes they are things like making coffee for him in the morning and giving him a peck on the cheek when I hand him his cup. I have talked with him about them on a couple different occasions. He handled it very professionally, so I know whatever I tell him is not going to harm our relationship. I know he will never cross the client/pdoc boundary. My T. and I talked about them. One thing she pointed out was that my fantasies are all things that I am missing in my current relationships—things I am not getting from my SO.
I have not been with my current T long enough to build up much in the way of transference issues…although, I expect it is something I will have to deal with in the future. She is nice, attractive, caring, professional…all the things I would look for in another person. I feel secure enough with my T that I don’t think talking about those feelings will bother me too much. Its just a natural part of therapy for me.
Having said all that…I’d still love to find out what my pdoc looks like naked!
