Reply to "new member/erotic transference/stop or go on"

The concern with sharing her personal info was more that you said she 'told you things she hadn't told other clients' -THAT is what is of major concerns or me.

When I said you cannot possibly know for sure you would connect outside the rooms let me clarify that - yes, 'chemistry' might be there; you MIGHT have 'a lot' in common but s I said above - 99% of those you "'fall in love with' or 'get to know' in a dating sense, you do have all those feelings for and yet almost always it DOESN'T work out.

It takes weeks months, years to truly know someone. And that's when you are actively dating - a lot more contact and in a huge range of situations other than the one hour once a week in therapy.

She's said she does not feel that way - you want to believe she does - you perceive there's 'chemistry' - IF a T did happen to have feelings for a client and was sexually attracted to them the right thing to do would be to terminate therapy with that person.

So either one if two things are happening here - either she does have a spark for you and is making the very unprofessional and potentially highly damaging (to you) decision to keep seeing you; OR - she really does not have any feelings for you; you just feel there is when there isn't.
