In reply to Re: When therapist should seek supervision, posted by one woman cine on February 6, 2007, at 12:43:28
I understand what you are saying. However, my psychiatrist has had over 30 years of experience and has told me he has had many cases involving transference. I have been in therapy with him for 3 l/2 years and developed intense erotic feelings for him about 8 months ago. This was revealed to him about 4 months ago. He was very kind and supportive, explaining that he was flattered and humbled by my feelings but this was not an option he could ever follow. After about 4 more sessions, he asked his analyst from long ago for supervision regarding my case. He revealed only that transference was extremely important and he wanted to get it right. He had not talked to this person for many years. So, why now? I know he seemed more comfortable after this but am confused about what it means. I guess I should be flattered that he cares enough to try for a good outcome. It makes me wonder if I am a particularly hard case.
