> Hi, Guys! I apologize for not responding for a while (was out of town all weekend). Sara, I haven't had the nerve to discuss the transference yet with my therapist (but have another appointment tomorrow; only see him once a month). Alan, I understand your wanting to work it out with the therapist with whom you had an attraction, but sometimes, I think therapists may not be comfortable in working with such things (some people are afraid they cannot maintain proper boundaries and your issue may be a little too "close to home"). But with your original therapist or with your current talk therapist, I hope you are able to resolve this. (I hope I can resolve it too!).--Cindy WGood to hear from you, Cindy. This thread was of great interest to me also. I guess I'm in a quandry as to how to proceed with my son's psychologist. I would like it if we could continue with him because of his specialties and because he's in the same hospital as my son's neurologist who follows his meds. So they are a kind of one stop shopping package. But I need him to get onto my insurance again and I don't know if I should ask him to do that.
I've never brought up anything with him, but I did get the feeling he was putting distance between him and me the last time we saw him and I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the undercurrent of attraction I felt (or imagined he had toward me) or if he felt uncomfortable about something else. It's all conjecture I suppose.
I just hate the thought of losing a good psychologist who has really supported me and my stupid questions and phone calls about my son's behaviors. It takes so long to build up rapport with professionals.
I guess I've also got some unfinished business too. But the crush part I think I can handle.
