Hi tinydancer
Sorry for the time delay. I think I get up as you guys all go to sleep. As others have said, I too almost hate the word "transference". Anyway, I am looking forward to the book so that I can hopefully find out more, if that is possible. Please excuse my ignorance, as I am fairly new here, but what does "btw" mean?I have been upset with my therapist before. Once when I phoned him to move an appointment he was quite sort of curt with me on the phone. I was devastated. It affected me for 2 days. I wrote to him and told him. I don't think he had realised how badly it had affected me and after that he has always been so sweet and gentle. He knows exactly how I feel as I have told him. When I told him, I was terrified and expected him to "fire me" on the spot as a patient and every time anything "bad" came out I always feared that he would get rid of me, but now, with his assurances that he won't do that, I am more open and honest with him. However, on the other hand it has led to me being more dependant on him and loving him more. . . blah, blah, blah!
Please let me know about btw and how things are going with you. . .:)
