In reply to still have strong feelings for therapist, posted by winsome on February 7, 2013, at 18:28:55
It's probably not helpful that he told you it was "just transference." I mean, transference is not a minor, just, kind of thing. It's huge and powerful and painful. I told my therapist over and over how much I loved him and he was understanding and kind, but reminded me over and over that our relationship was limited and always would be. Eventually, I came to accept that. But you shouldn't be scared to raise this with your T. If you are, maybe s/he is not a good T and you should find someone else.
PS - It's taken me almost 8 years to get through to the end of this.
