I think my T definitely has a lot of that counter transference going on. She has 2 younger kids, and she talks about them a lot, and overall it seems like she has a very strong maternal drive. She has said to me multiple times that she sees her therapy clients like they’re her kids. She also has referred to going “mama bear mode” for me when someone was trying to mistreat me. We definitely have a parent/child type relationship, probably helped by the fact that I’m her youngest client. I definitely can feel the transference and countertransference.
