I am a trainee psychotherapist. Recently I found myself quite attached to and connected with my supervisor. The feeling is quite weird. I do not know why I can open myself quite easily in front of her which is good in the sense of professional development in discussing clients' materials. However, the closed feelings made me wonder if I like her too much that should not have happened in a trainee-supervisor relationship.
I think she has done a great job in containing me and this made me feel like she is my mother and I am safe enough to expose my true self to her. The close feeling is a bit scary somehow.
I wonder if anyone has similar experience? On another level, I guess it has to do with a spiritual connection too because sometimes I can feel how she feel easily.
Anyway, any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you very much!
