Dear T,
That was an interesting question you asked about whether the parental transference I feel towards you is a positive or negative thing and whether we can use it to progress therapy or if we need to work on trying to reduce some of that transference. You seemed to be suggesting that you were open to trying some reparenting to help build attachment if I felt that it would be helpful. I appreciate you asking me what I thought would be most beneficial and useful and being so open to my thoughts rather than pushing for what you think would be best.
I also appreciate your sensitivity about you going on leave for a couple of weeks and giving me lots of advance warning so we can spend some time preparing for that so I’m not left feeling abandoned. It’s weird, it actually feels like someone truly gets me.
