People might accuse me of trasference but I am firm it wasn't the case.
My psychiatrist asked to see my art work and thus when I showed it to him he experssed he thought it was lovely; a picture of a cougar's face in particular. There is something in the picture that seems to click. It is the eyes. They seem to look at you in a way that is comforting. So I brought the painting with me on the next visit and it now hangs on his wall. He has said a lot of his patients comment on it. We agreed that it was not a gift but a loan.
My psychologist has a bald eagle feather I gave her. Again, I don't think this was about transference so much. Her office is full of spiritual objects and rather granola eating in an Earth centered way. I felt then this feather was something that would suit her and be meaningful. I asked that she add this to her office collection and I have since noticed she has placed it with a smudge bowl. This pleases me as she obviously understands the significance of such an object. My gift then was not just to her but to all of her clients. Not sure I can explain this better.
Maybe this is transference afterall. It certainly doesn't feel that way though.
