I dont know. I mean I see her as just someone who gets paid to do a job. Part of me has mother issues with her- transference. Then part of me doesnt want that because some things she has done Im like nah she wouldnt be good for me for that. I would never address that with her though that would just make talking to her even harder.

Having a maternal transference has been useful in my therapy, however rationally professionalism is what I'm looking for. I wouldn't like a t who crosses boundaries.

I'm at the stage where I've stopped fighting him. He's professional and friendly, but we're not friends.

I have not needed advocacy from my T so never thought of him as that. I can not grasp what my T is for me. I do use him as a crutch. I have tried to break away. He is so damn professional. Never breaks out of the therapist role. Always stays in character.
I despise the transference I have on him. It causes me so much emotional turmoil.

Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors. |

I wanted all my past therapists to be professional only. Most of them failed to fulfill this basic reasonable expectation.
Never needed any of them to be a friend or an advocate or an "ally" (whatever that means in the context of therapy). All I wanted is for them to help me get some clarity on what was happening with me internally and with my life externally. Once I get clear on the reality I live in (inner and outer), I know what to do and don't need therapist's or anyone's help figuring out solutions let alone advocating for me. And friendship to me is a part of my personal life and has nothing to do with this kind of work at all. |

I like ally. Sometimes I see him as a parental figure.
