I have maternal transference with my T. It has been a very difficult thing to deal with and it has been so smothering and has really consumed my thoughts. I have wanted my T to be my mom. My relationship has been so healing with her. What has helped is talking to her about it. I did have this idealized version of her in my head of how she is in sessions and that was feeding the transference so much. A couple months ago we had a rough phone call where she was tired and and we were both upset with each other. I hated seeing that side of her but it got rid of this perfect image I had of her and lessened my transference. I have learned so much about myself and my feelings since dealing with transference so although it has been so painful it has been really helpful. It also really helps when your T understands it and helps you through it like mine has.
