I have a fairly new T. We work well together. I have to admit , I have some transference toward him. He's very kind and makes me feel safe. My question is my T told me he has countertransference in that he feels very protective toward me and wants to help all he can.
I was a bit stunned as when he first met me, he said he was not a "hand holder" or "hugger" and didn't seem to feel anything.
I assume that was a good thing he said to me? I'm having a hard time not telling him of my transference. I think of him often and wish I was with him more often. I guess I'm looking for opinions from all of you . Thanks

Now that I think of it, he did make a BIG Freudian slip in therapy. He was asking me how he could best help me and what he could do. Instead it came out "how can I do you ?" Neither one of us said anything.
