I can't imagine how. I'm constantly showing him the stuff under all my rocks.
But he said things to me today that make me think that he might have some sort of positive transference going on. I don't think it's a realistic view of my strengths and weaknesses.
Don't get me wrong. I like to be told my strengths as much as anyone. And as anyone who knows me would know, I'm more likely than not to say "Yes, this is true!" False modesty or poor self esteem are not among my issues.
But...
Some of what he described was not me at all. And I can't see how it is at all helpful for my therapist to see me through rose colored glasses.
He could at least do me the honor of viewing me as realistically as I view him.
