So, I have a very intense transference relationship with my T. I love her, hate her, want to sleep with her, am enraged with her, all sometimes in the same week!
But this week I've had two sessions where I felt *nothing.* I always have trouble talking because of the intense mistrust and anxiety I feel, but this week I just chattered away. I didn't have any reaction to things that a couple of weeks ago (and for three years, now) would have devastated me. I'm acting just like I would in any relationship that's kind of a casual acquaintance-type relationship. I left yesterday with no feelings whatsoever. It feels so odd that I don't even feel like myself.
I've been praying for this to happen for two and a half years, but I don't like it. It feels cold and alienated.
Can transference just go away suddenly like that? Anyone else ever go through a stage like this?
