Can someone explain the difference between these three terms? I am aware of the first two but had never heard the term rupture before.

Also seeking clarification - would you classify attachment and transference as the same or different? I see them differently, but am genuinely curious of other's thoughts.

These are from the therapist side - so they are slanted in their favor.

For sure not the same, most people feel transference in general, not just with T's.

Not everyone feels attachment, me for instance, it's not something I get in general with anyone and I knew I was feeling it with T. I wanted to quit because of it but allowed myself to try it once with someone.

Rupture to me is when a disagreement or misunderstanding happens in therapy that causes the client to feel the end of therapy may be happening, or they may be unsure how to move past it and trust them again

I never got attached to any therapist, and I don't think I felt transference either. Maybe because I never saw any therapist for a long period of time.

Attachment: euphemism for dependency.

Transference: all problems and failures originate with the client.

Rupture: see Transference.

Attachment and transference overlap a lot.

Feeling wishes to be nurtured, longing feels, idealizing, needing approval, etc; in other words, putting your therapist in a parental role is transferring your feelings you had as a child to your therapist/relating to your therapist like a parent, so it's transference. Same with having a dismissive attachment with your T-the feelings and thoughts behind those behaviors are transference too.

These feelings and behaviors are often described as attachment, but perhaps they are both.

It's best to have a T that can point out these things as they happen.
Thanks for this!
