So in my last session my therapist and I were discussing my resistance to being totally vulnerable and letting go, I tend to contain stuff.. The heavy duty stuff in session. I'm not able to become really emotional , cry, etc. I tend to be guarded and my therapist knows me well so she knows it is me protecting myself . Here is the reason for this post... My therapist told me that I need to "fall in love" with her. She was not suggesting that we have sex or that she is in love with me, but more like just falling for her. Make no mistake my therapist is ethical and would never suggest anything inappropriate.I think it's the whole maternal transference thing. I know how it works , and I do have those feelings but they are so guarded and tucked away.. I'm afraid to let go and " fall in love"... What do I do with this ??
