From the second session my T was getting strong transference from someone in my past. I told him up front who it was and the nature of my relationship with that other person. We have had open dialogue about it as needed since. T has been really cool about it. Recently I have been seeing more and more how they are different and how the relationships are totally different... but T is still actively meeting the unmet need of the other relationship. However, the need in the other relationship went unmet because I wasn’t ready not because of anything else. The other person was willing to give me what T is giving me I just didn’t know how to accept it.
