Thank you Dinah for your kind words. I guess I do sexualize intimacy. I also have a strong maternal attraction to her. When she has talked about her daughters, I envy them so much for having a mother like her. This whole transference thing has been so mortifying. Actually, therapy has been one mortifying experience after another. On the one hand I know rationally that transference is completely out of touch with reality, on the other hand, there is just no way to make it go away. I really hope I can somehow work through this. Has anybody ever had a tranference problem disappear? And, if so, how did it happen?
Also, thanks for the book recommendation...I just ordered it.
I also wanted to mention that I have definitely had the experience the real strong transference feelings only happening outside of session, and it just seems like a normal relationship when we are together. Calling the therapists voice mail is an interesting idea in order to bring me back to reality.
