I really get your post. I think that it's very painful in when T wants us to be our "adult" self as we are in the NOW--because it feels like we are DENYING a part of ourselves (the part that is feeling hurt). So in the transference it winds up feeling just like what our parents did--deny, ignore, minimize, etc. I struggle in that transference as well.
You did a really good job of explaining it here though--so hopefully you can manage to discuss it with T as well.
Good analysis! Thanks.
