Thank you all, this all makes a lot of sense. I’m not the only one! In a way, I feel like my erotic transference stems from the paternal transference. I feel like a kid/teenager demanding different things from the authority figure. The erotic part seems to have died down over the past couple of days, which I’m thankful for because I’m much more comfortable with the paternal stuff. Those of you who mentioned “needs”—this really, really makes sense! I’m definitely feeling less adult than I did a few days ago.
