Reply to "Resolving Impasses in Therapeutic Relationships"

Thanks for replying Liese and Draggers. I just realized today why I can't tell T that my Inner Child is dependent on her. It's because I was raised by many different aunts, who always yelled at me, "I'm not your mother!" Almost every day, and it really hurt. When I was 3 or 4, that was like a death sentence. If T starts saying how she can't be my mother (which I know very well, more than anything in the world) I feel I will just die of fear and embarrassment. I just wish she would say it's OK to have a transference with her, but she never has said that and I'm afraid to take the chance! So, that's the predicament, I'm trying to figure out how to talk about it so therapy can move ahead.
