She does call herself my mom but due to our last discussions on unethical t attachment to clients and having to deal with her attachment feelings on her own time I feel she is managing it properly and allowing me to get what I need. We have a different relationship then all of her other clients as we've discussed it and I've seen her with other clients (before my session after theirs and I can see the difference, nothing unethical said or done in public just her mannerisms and body language) and there is a distinct difference. I do agree with you, it is hard to work out and it's something I bring up in session often. I would trust what you know with him and do what you think is best for you. I would discuss it with him for a couple more sessions before making a decision. However, if I had the decision and it hadn't naturally occurred it probably wouldn't be what it is now and I would have missed out on a lot of healing because I wouldn't have allowed it.

Also he mentioned T1 hug rejection, and he has said in the past he felt slightly competitive with T1 in the beginning. He's also admitted to paternal feelings towards me.
But I know he's very self-aware; he's even written a book on the unconscious of the therapist and its effect on therapy. So I do trust him. It's hard to work out.
