In reply to moving beyond transference, posted by LG04 on November 27, 2004, at 11:14:53

I am in my seventh year of therpay with a fine psychiatrist.
Six months ago, I went from seeing him once a week, to once every two weeks.

I am feeling less intensely about him now. I do not think about him all the time anymore. When I think aboutnot seeing him at all, I no longer feel like bursting into tears - uncontrolled; now I just feel like weeping quietly.

So I guess I am moving beyond transference. I still have a mental image of myself sitting beside him, I, a child, am leaning against him, protected, safe and warm. He has been my mother. That image may always stay with me. It's ok.

There may again be times when I feel deeply the attachment I have to him, when not seeing him hurts. It is so important to be heard, to be seen, to be cared about in the way he has done those things for me. I needed that more before than I do now. I'm ok now.

Does that help? Is there anything else I can tell you about it?
