I have always critized my T. on these boards and sometimes to her face. I have the usual transference thing too. Sometimes it is neg. sometimes pos. The transference is there though. I am envious of her intelligence and insight. Her boundaries are the strongest I have ever come across. I think that when working with borderlines a T. needs these boundaries or she would burn out in a week. She has told me that 'I'm a piece of cake'. She told me that she has had chairs thrown at her and alot of verbal stuff thrown at her too.
Yesterday, I was late as usual. She never goes over the alloted time. So I am the one losing out. She asked me why I am always late and I said that I have alot of ambivalence about therapy. She agreed about the ambivalence and said "get over it" and accept that you are in therapy. I actually appreciated that statement. I think it will help with the ambivalence. She will be away for awhile and like many others, I think, I am afraid she will not come back. She has tolerated alot from me, but I have also tolerated alot from her. Anyway, I just needed to say all this. terrics

Chuckle. I think I'd have related badly to that sort of statement, but that's why there's so many different sorts of therapists.
I'm glad you found one that suits you!

terrics,
Sounds like you are continuing to fight to relationship. It's good to hear.She will be back, I just know it. Take extra gentle care while she's on vacation.
Your post made me smile.

I probably would have cried if my T would tell me to "get over it", but I'm glad it gave you some sort of impetus to feel like you can now get on with doing your therapy.
