I’m sorry that you’re going through this. I agree with those who believe that transference is a part of the work in therapy. It’s inevitable, especially if there is a connection between the client and therapist. What gets to me is when a therapist isn’t able to handle it or terminates because of it. Naturally I’m not talking about over the top stuff like aggression or violence or any behaviors that are inappropriate but the normal feelings that may arise during this work. If I were you I would seek out another therapist but before you decide to hire anyone make certain that they are experienced and understand transference. Best of luck to you!
