Anyone else struggle and then successfully deal with maternal transference in therapy? I'm having such a hard time in my day to day life between sessions. I brought up the feelings with my T and she responded respectfully and kindly, while making the firm boundary clear. I'm making real efforts to manage and build my own resilience with all of the tools she's emphasized, but how do I stop this desperate need to see her? I'm firmly stuck on a schedule of seeing her only once every two weeks - which won't change. Any tips on how to deal with the emotional pain/longing would be really appreciated!
