Good Morning, I’m new here, but I wanted to comment because this is something I have been worried about too. Over the last couple of months I have really started experiencing transference with my therapist. At first I didn’t recognize what was going on with me, because it’s been awhile since I’ve had this happen with anyone. When I was younger, it was a regular thing for me to develop transference with any women who I perceived as strong, confident, intelligent, etc. like teachers, professors, etc. they become like the mother I wish I had. Well none of my transference in the past has been this bad, but I am trying not to bring it up at all because I’m afraid my therapist will pull back or start treating me differently out of fear I’m going to become dependent or too attached, or worse, she might terminate. I know that most therapists wouldn’t do that, but it still scares me. I am wondering how long this whole transference thing is going to last!
