I'm in the middle of a really intense case of transference with my T. The silences, his blank face, I guess everything he does triggers me. I see him as my abuser. It's so real to me that sometimes I swear he is in front of me instead of my T. The result is that I have paralyzing fear. I can hardly speak. I sit there in complete anxiety. My T keeps reassuring me he is not going to hurt me, which I know and believe. So his question is, then, why do I continue to see him as my abuser? Why can't I see what's in front of me (my T not my abuser)? Does anyone have any suggestions on why I'm so hang up on making my T my abuser????? Please, please help.
