I think I'm past the maternal transference stuff. Maybe because I now have a relationship with my mom. But my attachment to women authority figures is still really strong. I'm not like this with all women. It seems to just be the ones who support me with my mental health problems.
I know it stems from my childhood. My mom didn't want anything to do with me, and my dad was too busy working. I started getting attached to women as early as 5 years old. They were/are my safety. They were/are my main source for emotional support.
How to work through it? Idk. My T and I are distancing sessions so I can slowly let go. She is giving me a year termination process. I only have 6 months left. It's really hard. She wants me to try to avoid women I feel an instant attachment to. She said I'll probably develop an attachment no matter what, but this way will slow it down.
