I think both you and Daisy are right when it comes to how I experience transference.
In this case, I have explicitely transferred my feelings about my father directly onto my T, and in doing so, I'm re-experiencing all the "transference" in behavior that you describe.
Does that make sense?The actual transference of feelings onto my pdoc is devastating as I stupidly thought it would never happen. But what I've come to realize since our last session is not only do I recognize that I've transferred these feelings onto him (didn't really feel it so strongly before), but it's safer to have them placed onto him, then to associate them with my father at this time. I can't handle it, and that's fine, because I will be able to one day if I work hard enough at it. Plus, I know my pdoc can hold them for me until I get to that point, or at least I think he can, but I'll be sure to VOICE this to him.
antigua, who's feeling better and worse today.
