SO... on some other posts I admitted that I had ET pretty bad with my current T that has gone on for a while. It was consuming my thoughts so much and I thought at some point it would come up, but I also wanted to get it out of the way as soon as possible and out there. I needed to get it off my chest badly.

I finally worked up to it and brought up the transference. Well, my T didn't seem surprised at all, not one bit. He said it was pretty common and that we should explore it more, my thoughts on it, and the fantasies. That last bit there about the fantasies isn't something I care to elaborate on as I'm not sure why that needs to be explored at all! What else is there to discuss about this? I'm open to discussing it but the fantasy part, not at all.

Basically I told him that I needed to get it out there because I didn't want it to impact my progress. T asked how I felt after I told him and I said I was relieved.

I don't have any further thoughts on this and if he is curious I prefer him to lead with questions because I seriously don't know what else to say about it.

So if you have experienced ET with a therapist and had admitted it, how much further did your therapist want to explore it and did you? What aspects of it were discussed?
