I don't believe in "transference"---unless it is the technical Freudian kind, and we ALL meet people who remind us of people in our past, and may react to them in that way.
Feelings are simply....feelings, not right or wrong.
I fell in love with my t 6 years ago (went to him for a business dispute)....I told him bout it and we have discussed it at length. I don't think there is any subject we haven't delved into....We are the same age, and I am working on my degree in counseling.
I think it is important to talk about whatever you are feeling and dealing with; that is why you have your t....trust me, they aren't shocked, don't withdraw, et .......unless you have a t who isn't competent. They have heard it all before.
you may want to write some things down if you find it difficult to voice it to your t. yes attachment is painful and scary...but so much better than no attachment. Life itself, is scary, but we continue with hope, I believe.
Feelings/attachment isn't inappropriate or wrong; we all have feelings for others
Hugs, Sassy
