I would say that unless you're doing short-term, pop-psychology therapy, there is a lot more to say in the Transference, way more! It's actually what therapy is about, and is the source of the strong, confusing emotions. But there's so much fear in it from your inner child's problems or your past difficult relationships, that the unconscious throws up every detour it can to get you and T off track. I hope you will stay, as it sounds like the therapy relationship is getting itself going. And talk about it as much as you can even though it's nervewracking.

Thanks. Restin. I posted that there's nothing more to say about the transference because my T and I have discussed it for 5 years! We used to do IFS, parts work, so we talked a lot about my different parts who had feelings for her. We still talk about it when it comes up, if I want to. I didn't see the point of telling her last week. More honestly, I think it was that I thought I was " over" the attraction to her so I wanted to ignore it. We've talked enough about it: wanting her to be my mother, friend, and partner. Are they sexual feelings or not? Etc. But you're probably right. I had a crummy session anyway, so I should have told her. She may have known when I said "You look good."
