I am still very intrigued by transference, limerence what ever people call it. Especially since Mz Jellofluff enlightened me to the notion that transference can be about transferring feelings in general,not just feelings you have or had for another specific person, to your therapist. And not just errrotic feeling of love and lust. (Pink, I really missed your perspectives during that discussion)

In the passage you shared the only thing on the list that may be happening in my therapeutic relationship is the "Fear of rejection and sometimes incapacitating but always unsettling shyness in LO's presence, especially in the beginning and whenever uncertainty strikes. I certainly experience this symptom but I not sure what's the underlying cause. Fear of rejection, judgment, insanity, embarrassment, etc. Although I am trying to remain as open minded as possible, I don't think it is because i am "In love" with her. Based on the abstract you shared, I not experiencing Limerence in my therapeutic relationship, transference probably in some ways. (See ya all, I have evolved a little bit)
