How Well Do You Know Your T?

How is he handling the erotic transference? And why is he telling you so much about himself? Is it related to your own therapy?

I think it's unethical and dangerous when there is no diversity of thought/belief. Especially with a biz like therapy which is seething with dishonesty and deception. This place needs dissent or it is just an industry echo chamber that pulls in vulnerable types who think there is nothing to fear and start believing therapy "works most of the time" and all that BS. That could be life wrecking. When I was stuck in a therapy disaster and posting on another forum, most of the people were glorifying the biz and mindlessly reciting the mantras and dogma. Thank god one person spoke up and said something different.

He's been ignoring the erotic transference I confessed (meaning, we don't talk about it, it seems to make him uncomfortable) but at the same time, he's reinforcing it, IMO, when he tells me that he's never been attracted to his spouse and other, similar things. I am a little uptight about repeating them all here...but things like that. They are most of the time at least somewhat related to my situation.

IMO, I think I know my T fairly well. We have similar personalities. She self-discloses a lot I work in the field so we discuss work related things outside of therapy as she reaches out to me as a resource when needed. I know what school her kids go to, the town she lives in, Church she attends... Some hobbies not all.... She is someone I see as a friend. Maybe I shouldn't but I do...

For a moment I thought I posted this. Until I got to the point of kidd school. I knew where her son went but he has graduated. Other than that you seem to have a very similar relation as T and I.
