Transference is real! I have experienced it and finally had the nerve to talk to my therapsit about it. One of these threads recommended a book called In Session by Deborah Lott which was very helpful and gave me the courage to tell him about my feelings. That was about six weeks ago and the subject comes up once in awhile now but the best thing is that I really know I can trust him . I still don't quite understand how tranference will benefit me other than to learn to feel nurtured -- a feeling that I did not have as a child. My feelings of strong sexual attraction, which in the beginning were overwhelming, have diminished since I told my therapist and he reacted with understanding and sensistivity. I truly have learned to trust him which can only make the therapy that much better.
