MissC, it is so helpful when our T's own up to their countertransference

Yeah, in this case it was urgently required! The transference/counter transference is how we integrate experience through the feeling state in analytical psychotherapy. As Sky said, it is his responsibility to manage both of these. His sharing of his failure to manage the countertransference this time was pure and allowed me to see the humanity, the person behind this.

Of course, now I feel like I have been hit by a truck. Dammit this is hard.

I am going back today for the third day in a row. This is a record for me.

I'm now going to get tough like Soliaree and Pinksoil. No more Mrs. Nice Guy.

You know what I really want to say today, HEY BACK-OFF ****O!!!
