I definitely have some negative maternal transference for my T. I keep expecting her to react like my mom would to some stuff. And then the times she *does* say something that reminds me of my mom, it just reinforces it. And that's bad because it makes me reluctant to tell her about certain things. Which is made worse when she says she doesn't want to know about them (length of most recent MC phone call, for example).
Nope, no kids.

I would feel hurt too if t said she didn't want to know about something. Ouch.

One time not long ago she told me that she "doesn't have friends". I am starting to see why. She's a bit rough around the edges when her professional mask slips. Slips hell, I think it completely fell off.... oh yeah along those lines another thing she said last time - she asked me how my interview went, and I told her it was a behavioral interview and told her what kinds of questions they asked, and she said that she is glad she's not in that type of job market because she would not get hired. Interesting person, my t. So kind and caring with her t persona in place, but behind that, she's a mess just like everybody else, isn't she? Wow. Light bulb moment.
