I find this interesting as Iīve now thought more and more about the negative transference this T claims she experienced and as thatīs a normal part of therapy, why just not take the therapy from that point? I said this to her when answering her last e-mail even if I know she wonīt get back to me anymore.

The T experiencing negative transference seem to be a bit of a clue to all heartbroken people here at PC. I now talk about posts about being abandoned in some way or another, a too common problem as it seems. How is it even possible that a T canīt receive this? Isnīt it a part of the healing process of the client? I think I know that much that Iīm sure itīs the way it should be.

Thanks for the comment on the older T and encouraging me to meet with her again. At the moment Iīm not sure at all, I donīt have that much of an apprehension of her really and I donīt know if Iīd manage to find out. I donīt know if I want to go through this again. Perhaps my problems will stay unsolved, it doesnīt seem to be any help.

I got this odd thought about cutting myself in the arm, I didnīt try and I donīt want to have cutting wounds but the thought emerged though. Some kind of physical pain could perhaps relieve my feelings at the moment.

Why not reply to the older T, the one set to retire. You may be able to do some valid work and she sounds not intimidated by what you need.
