I visited a Love addiction therapist wanting to deal with being drawn to unavailable people. I haven't been in a relationship for some 12 years and wanted to discover the reason why.
I am a gay women so I chose a gay therapist to visit (bit of a mistake on my part, if think)
Anyway, visited the Love Addiction therapist and after about 8 sessions it seemed that therapist liked me.. there was quite intense eye contact and she spoke to me in a seductive way in one session. Even though I enjoyed the 'session', I realised that I was on a what I call a 'mind fuck to nowhere'.
I've written the rest of my story in "Can't stand the transference - 2nd counsellor dumped in 12 months"
Anyway, the outcome is I am feeling pain about having to terminate with my therapist, my mum and uncle died whilst I was in therapy. My ex therapist did not seem to want to discuss transference, maybe cos I wanted to end therapy. I told her that I was too emotionally involved, but I had never had a chance to discuss the transference issues. Really strange cos she's a love addiction therapist LOL
Learnt something about therapy... never chose
anyone as a therapist who might be able to bring you back into my old patterns. The old patterns do need to be discussed.
