Hi vwoolf,
Thanks for your post. I've actually been meaning to post to you about the publishing conference you went to. (You mentioned it in a post last month.) Are you by any chance published? I've been approached several times about having my therapy experience written up and I'm looking for others who have done the same.
I am really interested in what you wrote about integration and transference. I'm working through similar issues. I found the following very helpful:
>>>To work through transference, you have to face up to all the good and bad stuff that you project onto others, which is based on your early childhood relationships. By working with two t's, you would never be able to integrate the split off parts of yourself, which is the aim of therapy - or at least it's the aim of my therapy. To become fully integrated, to accept myself in all my aspects.<<<
I saw the new T for the 2nd time this afternoon and talked with her about my regular T and my transference issues. Surprisingly, she said she doesn't mind if I keep seeing my reg. T for bodywork as long as I see her for talk therapy. (My regular T is a bodyworker and a psychotherapist.) She said I could keep track of my transference reactions and then discuss them with her. I'm not sure how that will really work out. I plan to tell my regular T on next visit.
Regards,
happykat
