They don't all believe in that Freudian stuff like "blank slate" and transference. Actually I had no idea before coming here that so many do. Mine talks about her life all the time and it makes me feel more "normal" and less "sick" that she goes through the same things as me sometimes. She also said she can get annoyed with me but it doesn't mean she doesn't like or care. i like that because the idea of never getting annoyed seems fake to me.
