I'm majorly f----d up when it comes to attachment issues. For awhile I thought my transference issues meant that I was romantically attracted to my therapist. We talked about that too, and to her credit she didn't bat an eyelash over that. She has just been so totally accepting of me no matter what I tell her, and she waits so patiently when I have a hard time telling her the things I feel so ashamed of. She just sits there and quietly takes it all in, and responds in a way that makes me feel like I
really can trust her. It makes me feel like in the depths of her being she can hold whatever I tell her, without it drowning her. I don't know how she does that.
