I have these feelings and my stomach is in knots.... I have an appt tomorrow and I need to get this out - a release in the hopes these knots go away. I plan on telling my therapist how I feel about her. I know nothing will ever 'happen' in my mind (no physical boundries will be crossed) but my heart doesn't want to accept that. I know this is transference of some sort and it totally sucks! I hope I can just tell her my thoughts and that will help this go away. This is so hard. A part of me wants her to love me even though I know that's not possible. This is such a tortured existence. Wanting something that will never be and wanting something that isn't healthy to want. Help.

It is so brave of you to tell your T about what you're feeling, and I truly hope your T will help you through this. You are so right, it's torturous... ((( HUGS )))

Thank you so much (((MUE))). I'll be thinking of you and everyone when I'm in my appt tomorrow. That will help me with getting the courage to say how I feel. I must say I find it comforting to know I can 'talk' about things here on PC without anyone knowing 'me'.

I know the feeling...it's so difficult to share such deep, intense emotions....to be so vulnerable....and trying not to judge your feelings....so hard. And to do it online, anonymously, is even sometimes difficult - let alone face to face with someone. Heck, even admitting things to ourselves is hard! I admire the courage that you have here. I wish I had that kind of courage. Please post an update, ok? It just might help me too....

I went through a similar experience, which I think was the first step in my transference. I put my feelings into an email to my T, because I couldn't tell her to her face.
When she then said she'd be going away for 3 weeks and couldn't see me, I finally was brave enough to tell her that I felt she was "letting me down". It was a break through to be able to say that, and I think a great step forward in our relationship.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
