P.S. I DO feel some paternal and/or romatic (but not really sexual) transference with my male pdoc sometimes, and I have talked about it in an indirect way with him and my female therp. I think I sometimes idealize him and other times want to villify him. I keep wondering, where is his Terrible Evil Dark Side and other times, I can't understand why he won't just run away with me, ha ha. (Not that I would ever say that in those words.) Then I read posts of others who have gotten involved with their therps etc and realize that it would devastate me.
It can take up a lot of mental real estate for me I do have to keep my eye on it. I don't ever want to be obsessed with anyone again the way I used to be.
