I haven't told my T about any transference related to her yet. I think mainly because I really don't think I respond to her as-if she were a specific person in my life. I think most of the transference I am experiencing at this point is my husband. His behavior and multitude health problems is triggering a lot of negative childhood memories of my dad. I've disclosed this fairly clearly in my writing to my T but we have not talked about this directly yet.
I did manage to tell my T last session that I deliberately hide some physical symptoms--post session side effects from her. This was really difficult for me to disclose. I was relieved when she simply accept it as if it was normal and allowed me to redirect to another concern.
