Okay, you've gotten up the nerve to admit out loud in the session, that you have little child Transference for your T. So, what happens then? She just stares at you? Tells you she understands but could never be your mother? Gives you a sermon on growing up? Tells you to be your own good mother? I would just die, and I could never go back.

An insecure, insensitive T would say those things. But a compassionate, experienced T will say that what you are experiencing is normal and understandable in your situation. She will set some boundaries on how you can express your transference, but she shouldn't shame or reject your feelings.

And I know it feels like you will die to admit these things or talk about the boundaries, but (fortunately and unfortunately) you won't.
Sky, This is really important for you and your healing. It's "part of the process". I was having a major breakdown in the office about this and T inched up to me, very close, as I was coming apart and said, in a super-compassionate tone "I can't be your father, there will be some dissapointments in therapy". It crushed me because it is the "wish" and it is also the truth. Hang in there and try to work with it. The problem is, therapy is a very slow process, but that is also what makes us experience authentic change deep inside. Keep talking about it with T. You may be amazed at how you can actually work through this and feel better.
"transference facilitator" is a good word. and "they loooove" transference" is a good word, too. Maybe it feeds their vanity.
I was at another forum where someone said that the T shouldn't say the cold fact that they can never be the father or mother, as it could cause a breakdown and panic episode. But instead the T should say they will support and help the patient with their inner child feelings. I felt this was a better way because my adult self knows I can't be my T's child, but it's my own inner child who has such longing and fear.
Of course, I haven't even gotten to first base yet, but trying to anticipate every possibility, of course. That's me...analyze everything to death in advance so nothing can take me by surprise (whew).
