This isn't the same T that blamed feelings on me - that was the pdoc.

This was an interesting experience like seeing myself from the other side of a mirror.

T used the clinical word countertransference because she knows I'm studying psychology and would have an idea of what it meant. It was a shortcut in language so she could get to the point faster with fewer words. I always thought the 'blame' for countertransference was on the therapist not the patient. So I never saw myself as implicated - I really didn't think very far in the area of judgement about the statement.
