In reply to countertransference, again - should I fire my T?, posted by backseatdriver on July 22, 2008, at 12:19:03
I don't get it. Why did he bring up his feelings of inadequacy? That seems very inappropriate in a therapy setting. And why did he say that everyone wants a personal relationship with their T? I mean, duh, yeah, of course, but what does that have to do with his work? Was it about having a personal relationship with one's T? I'm guessing not. He sounds pretty full of himself, to me. Getting off on the power imbalance on the one hand, and then polluting your therapy with his feelings of inadequacy on the other. Unless I'm reading this exchange wrong.
My 2 cents. I hope this doesn't sound too harsh.
