In reply to Nightmares about my ex T - transference?, posted by pinkeye on May 23, 2005, at 15:06:14
Ow, this resonates Pinkeye, that's pretty much exactly my feelings about my last therapist as well. I had a lot of nightmares, when I couldn't see him anymore, when he shut me out, a lot of nightmares about a house with unfinished and neglected parts; some of the house was beautiful, stunning, the location of this house, everything about the dreams were about unfinished business and so on, and I was so afraid of this ex-T's bad feelings about me. Before he shut me down totally, you know, I was terrified of his bad feelings about me. And he had to be angry and frustrated with me, I was acting out terribly, the worse I behaved the more afraid of him I became. Sheesh. This is therapeutic.
How're you doing with this, now, this fear of your ex-T's anger? It has to be totally transference; you never did anything that would get a rational professional person angry with you, did you, and even if he were angry with you that doesn't mean he'd hurt you like your dad did. You're shedding light on my situation as well. Our fathers actually sound remarkably alike in some ways.
