The discussion came about when I read about it on this forum after we terminated therapy. I know my therapist did experience counter transference, but I never felt any negative fallout from it. I experienced massive transference with her. My case had her rereading John Bowlby 's 13(?) volumes on attachment therapy more than half-way through my therapy. She also consulted with a friend on my case. She said she never brought my case up in her EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) group, because they were new to the processes in EFT.
We are friends today, but the messy transference that we went through don't even factor in. I do not experience any conscious or troubling transference to her and I would expect that is the same with her.
