"client-therapist dyad" I've learned yet another term in this thread :-)

Yes, I've found my interaction with my T very helpful, even if still somewhat guarded. And honestly, if it wasn't so...professional, I don't think I could handle it in the beginning. However sometimes I wonder if I may be approaching things too analytically and missing the whole point sometimes. Actually, I know I'm thinking too much about things. She chuckled and shook her head last session when I asked her to confirm if some the assumptions/ expectations I wanted to have regarding our relationship were OK. I guess some of them were obvious.

When I mentioned my capacity, I meant that I'm not sure if I have the ability to "experience" deep feeling the way a normal person does. Therefore, I don't think I could inadvertently or therapeutically project these feelings towards my T. I'd probably have to ask her if it was OK and appropriate first :-)

Maybe that's what I can put on the agenda for tomorrow's session--'Hey, in an effort to bring back some love and passion to my marriage, I would like to know if it is OK for me to engage in erotic transference towards you.' LOL
