Yeah, he's afraid I want to dilute the transference, and reduce my dependency on him by inserting another therapist in the picture. He thinks that if I indulge my desire to do that, it will weaken our therapeutic relationship.
He's right in that I have been (and still am sometimes) afraid of being too dependent on him, and I'd rather have two therapists lined up in case anything happened where he'd have to fire me or something. But I'm still not sure that's a bad thing...
Or maybe he's afraid I'll like the other therapist better, or complain about him to the other therapist or something. I do complain to him about the other mental health providers I've seen. But I don't need another therapist to complain to! I've got you guys! (big grin)
