I don't believe I suffer from transference, least not with current T and ex-T. I don't/didn't want them to be my mother nor do they remind me of my mother. For me, it's attachment.

I have not worked through it, as in I have not resolved it. I do openly talk about it. My T checks in about my level of attachment every so often. She keeps strong, consistent boundaries with me. And we're starting to come up with ways to distance myself from her. Like now I see her every other week instead of weekly. And my homework is to try to go 7 days without looking at her picture.

I will say that my level of attachment has significantly decreased from ex-T to current T. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the boundaries?
