I am so nervous because I have decided to tell my therapist tomorrow that I think I have been experiencing transference towards him. I have been seeing him for about a year and the transference has gotten pretty distracting over the last couple of months. At first, I was in denial. Then, once I realized what was going on I just tried to sweep it under the rug and I decided I was never going to mention it. However, it has gotten very unmanageable and embarrassing. I find myself missing him in between sessions. I am very logical and recognize these feelings as transference but it doesn't make it any easier to bring up. I am afraid I am going to work up the courage to say something all the way up until my session then back out. Everything I have read during my research says that addressing this transference issue directly to the therapist could be extremely beneficial to the therapy as a whole. Has anyone been through this? I would like to know how other people went about bringing it up and how well or not so well it went for them. Any advice? I feel very self-conscious about this. Even now, as I am typing this, I'm not so sure that it's still such a good idea to bring this up tomorrow. I'm so unsure of myself because I'm afraid of destroying our therapeutic relationship or just completely losing him. I don't know what the right thing is to do. I really don't want to look foolish and I'm afraid my feelings are going to be addressed as invalid.
