> I'm not sure when. Maybe 2007? 2008?
I'm re-reading the archives from the beginning. I'll watch for you when I get to 2007 :-)
> I don't think of transference as a painful event. [...]Oh, I think I misunderstood your post. When I hear "transference" I think of the situation where people feel in love with their therapist, have a painful termination, move on to a different one, then looking back feel that "transference" was a bad experience. I realize the word is intended to include a whole lot of other experiences.
> It was a necessary experience for me, who never experienced parenting and though it was painful, it did get better, I still see the psychiatrist to whom I felt so attached every 5-6 weeks, just to check in and because he has been so important to my life and helpful to me.
That sounds really sweet. I'm glad things worked out well.> I see a DBT therapist once a month to reinforce how to cope when the depression recurs, as it does every so often.
That's one type of therapy I've never done. It sounds very practical and helpful.
