Let me tell you, that made the transition 110% easier for me, and was a great springboard into working with T2. As I mentioned in a different thread my transference didn't happen again with T2 (in another weird parallel I started seeing T1 right after my mom's death, and I later realised I had had maternal transference with T1 as in some ways he was similar to my mom) but I also have genuine feelings of affection for T1 which I still carry with me, but no longer cause me pain.
I'm so pleased for you that you have had the strength and courage to conclude this therapeutic relationship in a positive way and I wish you all the best with new T

My biggest hope is that the transference isn't as intense next time. or, that they can help me through it if it is. I was stuck due to ex-T's reactions to me, boundaries, and personality similar to my mom. My ET is stronger right now but I think it's because I'm losing her and my mind/body wants to be close? I'm hoping they will fade with time.
