Hello Angel,

I thought I'd give you my 2 cents worth.

I have had both good and bad experiences in therapy. My first therapist had a severe boundary violation with me. My current therapist has strict boundaries and I trust her. These boundaries have allowed me to open up and talk about my trauma history. I was upset when she went on vacation for two weeks. Mostly because for the first time I had felt connected and close with her (this is something foreign to me). I have learned that for me I can only do the difficult work if I have this connection.

I believe that in many instances clients replicate past relationships with their T's. This may evoke negative transference reactions. Instead of becoming aware that they are doing this....They believe that the T is causing this behavior. That is just my 2 cents worth.
