My t and I just talked about my maternal transference stuff Thursday evening. It's been a common theme. I actually had called her a couple days previously and told her on the phone it was happening again and that I needed to talk about it (easier to bring it up on the phone for me cuz she's not looking at me!) So when I got there Thursday we just dived right into it. I told her i had realized she had triggered it and how she had and she said she could see how that could happen and we talked about me sitting with it, holding it, myself. Talking about it with her seems to take the pressure off somehow well until it gets activated again. I wish you all the best. Therapy is hard work.
