Hi....newbie here...in therapy for over a year or so....Im male and my T is female....just wondering how everyone has handled the "transference" issue....It seems to happen mostly with male T's and female clients, but I am severly attached to my female T...we have openly discussed it and she is well aware of it and does not plan on terminating me because of it (thank god)....she praises me because I have not done anything that would cross the boundary and I do not act out in sessions. However, I have somehow made myself believe she is the one I should have married and this is not
helping my marriage therapy which occurs with the same therapist
My wife knows about the transference, and is supportive.

Anyone else have this issue?
