And this is a big problem with Dr. T--he doesn't seem to buy into transference, so seems unwilling (or at least very uncomfortable) digging into what the therapist symbolizes. So then we get stuck in the relationship, even if I'm aware that it's likely coming from elsewhere. Because he doesn't seem open to going into the "elsewhere," saying he thinks it's between us.
