Hi everyone
I am new to the site and this is my first post. I have struggled on many occasions, with Transference. It doesn't happen with every female, but it has always been female. I have had it happen with Teachers and some Therapists. I become very childlike, and get this very powerful yearning to be held or have my hair stroked, or even just a touch on the shoulder. It is so frustrating and very painful. I was in an inpatient setting and was dealing with a therapist there. I divulged alot to her just a week before i was discharged and the feelings crept in during that short time. Now, I can't work with her because she only works with inpatients and I am an outpatient. Has anyone else struggled with this? How do I deal with it without the therapist? How do I stop this from happening. I know why it is happening, just don't know how to get it to stop.
Thanks in advance.

I'd just share she probably give you some literature to read about it.
