Can you first deal with drugs? You sound like things are not going ok for you at all.
I think transference is a sad thing. If your therapist is good I think that he should ignore it, although this sounds cruel. I had a therapist who crossed the line...not sexually. She just spent about half the session telling me her problems. My therapist now will not even discuss how I feel about her. She just says that she has strong boundries. I think we have to realize that these 'relationships, are one-sided. Where else can you get someone to listen to you for an hour? It is not as though it is a real reciprocal relationship. It is sort-of false. Ts. are their to help us work out problems; things that interfere with our current lives. Hopefully they help us live happier or at least more contented lives. It takes some of us a long time to learn and some of us not so long. I hope your T. is gentle with your emotions and also helps you with the drugs. I think you need help to feel better. ps. the transference thing drives me nuts too. Sorry that you are having such a bad time right now. Terrics
