In reply to Transference making me nuts!, posted by FlyingKangaroo on August 11, 2005, at 19:43:22
> I'm new to babble and new to therapy and had never heard of transference until i "caught it" a few weeks ago. My T says it will eventually diminish but he cant say when. I believe it's interfering with therapy and it's making me crazy. How do i get rid of it?
Welcome to Babble!
It might depend a little on your T's theoretical approach, i.e. whether he is doing CBT with you or something else. Different approaches to therapy can involve different ways of dealing with transference.
From everything I've read, I think the best way to make it go away is to talk about it to your T as often as you need to. That's not always the way of approaching transference in CBT, but to be honest I think if transference has hit you hard there's probably not much other way to do it.
Just my two cents.
