Hi All,

My transference had really diminished, then t and I had a rupture. Last session we kind of repaired things but it's still a bit weird.

Anyways I went to the mall after work and it was really quiet. I was in my own world listening to music with headphones walking through the mall. I look up and my t is walking towards me. I just kind of blurted out "****, this is awkward" not sure she heard me. I smiled and nodded and kept walking. She smiled and gave a cheeky low wave.

I always hoped seeing t out there in the world as a person would help me distinguish between transference and reality. It's the total opposite, all I can think about is how amazing she looked and how much I love her.

The transference has come back harder than ever!

Last week my T told me that it's just as awkward for them to see us outside of session as it is for us to see them.
Does your T know about your transference towards her?

[Loco4]

Yeah it very awkward all around!

And yes she does not too intimately, but she knows I have strong feelings towards her

I would love to bump into my therapist in the "real world"

If I ran into my T I'd have some things to say for sure. He better have his earphones handy.

I saw mine ~10 minutes before my session on the street yesterday. He was walking to the office and I was walking behind him, so we did not interact. But I did have these thoughts "oh why don't we just take a walk in the park and talk that way, or go for lunch in a restaurant, or something..." I did not tell him about it in the session afterward though.

I see mine in the real world quite often.

I once asked T about if this happened. He said - we act like friends. (i.e. if there are others present). All sorted! In 8 years I never saw him
