@davidmfreshwater: We explore the phenomenon of transference in therapy: those intense feelings, fantasies, and preoccupations you might develop toward your therapist. We discuss why this isn't a sign something went wrong, but rather evidence that the therapeutic relationship is working exactly as it should. We talk about how attachment naturally moves toward someone who truly listens and holds space without judgment, and why psychoanalytic therapy is uniquely equipped to work with these feelings rather than dismiss them as boundary violations. #transference #therapy #therapytok #MentalHealth #psychoanalysis

In three minutes, you blew up the balloon, popped the balloon, patched the balloon, and then blew it up slowly enough to build capacity. Well done.

This happened to me and my trauma therapist dumped me causing attachment injury and a rupture. Even though I brought this to their attention and was still not handled with care!

I can relate. Feel really 'needy' though, like I should be able to cope without my therapist...but not sure I can yet, but at the same time want to cancel sessions so I'm not reliant on someone this much.

My therapist kicked me out after three years. He emailed me, canceled our next session, and ended the therapy. This happened after a rupture in our therapeutic relationship and after months of trying to make him understand. But he became increasingly distant and angry and finally ended the therapy. That was four months ago, and I've been completely devastated ever since. I wasn't even allowed to say goodbye. There was no final session. It feels like all my old wounds and core beliefs have been confirmed, and I feel utterly worthless. I really trusted him. 😓

I don’t want to know anything about my therapist outside that room. I just need her to be my therapist. I would think any other knowledge may distract me from our work.

What do you mean when you speak about ”something old” in us? Is this meant in a metaphysical sense?
