>Hi, Penny. Understood! That makes sense. I guess I was, to some extent, trying to be "funny"--hard when you are typing your thoughts rather than speaking them, and when you don't know the person to whom you write.
You're right, it does take time for transference to develop, maybe because it involves, above all other things, trust. I've been there, too--unbelievable issues with abandonment with which I still wrestle (and I am old! I have adult children!). I, also, developed a transference relationship with a therapist-just once-and I made more progress with him than with any other psychotherapist I ever had. I think it is a necessary part of the therapeutic relationship, if you are ready to deal with your issues. Guess I wasn't finished when I stopped!
I wish you luck AND love, in ALL your relationships. Perhaps working through your pain is the best way to obtain both.

Perhaps. But I really think we just didn't click. It took me a while to develop transference feelings for my regular therapist, but I liked her before then. Just got a "I know and you can't change my mind about it and you HAVE to work through this now" attitude from the new one.
