I hope you're right. My pattern is usually to retreat BIG time after opening up. Maintaining consistency in going deeper is almost impossible for me, and I recognize that's my pattern. I get the care/love I need, I think that's enough and I go back into hiding.
Yes, it would have been nice if my pdoc had called. But he only will if I ask explicitely and he's not the type of guy that I can just call and say, "I'm feeling badly," without some sort of context or incident.
I'm going to ask him what he thinks about countertransference when I see him next time, if I can muster up the courage. I know I push his buttons sometimes (that whole "favorite child" issue, for one) and I'd like to discuss it. I'm sure he will say that it doesn't exist. :)
