I never noticed my T wearing a wedding ring before. Haven’t looked in months, and I only looked once, but he had not been wearing one when I did look. All of a sudden I noticed he had one on. Maybe he just got married? I don’t know. I didn’t look on purpose. He looked down at his hand then moved to hide his hand quickly. His looking down made me look in that direction. That is when I thought I saw one. I looked away quickly. Again, a session later, still not looking. I was telling him about a guy at a bar looking at my hand and asking me if I was married with a smile (I wasn’t wearing my ring). As I am telling my T about this, he looks down at his hand again and moves to hide it. Maybe I am overthinking this, but could he be doing this on purpose? Yes, I have feelings of transference starting up. Actually that ring thing didn’t hit me that same day, it was the next day I thought about it and got irrationally sad. I think he has been trying to get me to talk about transference, without actually saying “transference”. I do not go along with it. I am avoiding this. Again, maybe I am just reading too much into it, but would a T do this on purpose to elicit a reaction? Why hide his hand? If he doesn’t want a patient to see it, why wear it during session? If he is doing it on purpose, it's working... Any thoughts? Thanks.
