It really hasn't come up. He has mentioned that he believes that his function is to contain me (which is Bionian). But otherwise he is writing about this stuff and I've read his writings and he knows I do because I've told him.

We rarely talk about psychoanalytic concepts in sessions. We sometimes have but quite quickly my T has figured that although interesting (to him as well) it really draws attention away from my personal stuff.

This is really off-topic now but I have been considering becoming an analyst myself one day. I'm not sure I'm able to as this is very dependent on how much I am able to work through my borderline and psychotic processes and how much I am able to integrate myself. But for some strange reason my T told me early on in my analysis that I would make a capable analyst. I had no idea what he meant by it then but as time has passed I have figured that maybe I would be able to do that.
Thanks for this!
