I have paternal transference for my T and we've discussed that. He has shared with me that he felt the same feelings for his long term T when he was in therapy which rly helped me to know that it's ok and normal. I have been seeing my T for 6 yrs. it comes and goes. Sometimes it is very painful. I remember emailing him abt how it feels like it will never be enough, that the hole in me will always be there, yearning for a healthy dad figure. My T is very well trained in attachment and transference. I do hope that someday I can have my own internal healthy parent. I plan to work with my T for however long it takes and I know he is in it for the long run too.
