Interestingly, I asked my T this question today. I told him that I can't totally link the love/hate feelings that I have for him directly to my father. He said that it doesn't have to be all because of one incident, that it could be a cumulative affect of things that have happened with authority figures over the years. I'm like you in that I can't figure out what emotions are from when/who/where. But, yes, I think that recognizing that some may come from the past is a sign of progress.
