Hiya all! I'm preparing to bake holiday cookies for my therapist since I know he isn't going to accept a present. I think just bringing in cookies to share during the session will be a nice gesture and he won't necesarily think of it as a gift. Plus, it will be yummy to have cookies for myself :)
I've been thinking and rethinking how I view my therapist now. I don't fantasize about him anymore (although I still find him attractive). I don't have a crush on him. I almost wrote "Baking cookies for my daddy" in the header. Strange how things change in such a short amount of time. So, transference is still present, just in a different way. I just wonder if I'm going to start feeling anger or rage towards him, due to some of the suppressed anger I feel towards my father. I guess time will tell. But, I don't really ever confuse him with my father, I just see him as a new daddy, a replacement father of sorts... This can't be healthy either... Well, either way, it is progress. At least I'm not bringing up humping him during every session and I'm talking about my father during the session. You would be proud Daisy :) How's everyone else doing in therapy? I go tomorrow and will discuss all the dreams I continue to have.... And eat yummy cookies, if they turn out...
Keeping my fingers crossed. Karen
