>A lot of it comes from the feeling that he really doesn't like me too much, but it really isn't necessary that a therapist like his clients. And that conviction might be transference too. Although he would have more
>than enough reasons to dislike me.Right but be that as it may if after exploration you decide YOU dont like your doctor or therapist then its a good idea I think to find one you do like. I would not see a doctor or therapist I didnt like. I dont have to know anything personal about them to know if I like them or not also. The chemistry between doctor and client cannot be underestimated.
> But you know, I think that the very conditions (basic uncertainty, power imbalance) of therapy might bring out the clingy, desperate behaviors that therapists hate in people who have borderline traits. I'm going to have to give that
>some thought.Yes but remember that people only have the power over us that we give them. Its yours to give and yours to take away. You gotta work that one out. Your doctor has certain legal authorities that you dont such as being able to prescribe meds but so do other doctors. That leaves psychic powers basically about the issues you addressed earlier and in those cases its an even field. IMHO!!! :)
