Even when I know it's ok to express affection, or even the right thing to do, I'm scared.

I can't guess how your T will react, but I just came out and told my T that I thought I was in the middle of transference. The response from my T? "What kind of transference do you think it is?" Almost no reaction at all...just an acceptance of how I was feeling. Transference and attachments are pretty common in therapy. Verbalizing how you feel is more than scary...sometimes it's terrifying! I send you good thoughts and
. Do what you feel is right, when you feel ready.
