yes thanks! I did read Briere's book, and also John Chu's ("Rebuilding Shattered Lives" - both excellent). They seem to think that through transference experience, the preverbal "knowledge" can be refuted - but if it's true that transference only occurs early in a therapeutic relationship, if this "knowledge" isn't refuted then, what else is there? I don't think I have transference for my T (both females).
