Also sometimes some of us don't want to be bowled over by transference, however much it may help. When I was deep in transference I wished I could just forget about it and get on with all the things I needed to do - but I couldn't, and my T wasn't there every second of the day to help me through it. So I guess I was dealing with transference 'in the real world', i didn't have any coping strategies and I felt completely alone...until I came here and found out what was happening when I was in the T's office.
