Have you ever asked out your therapist?

you get paid ..how much ?...... why would you get paid that much ?..that's over twice the State pension, and you don't work!
I'm on the middle rate of benefit which comes to about £2400 a month plus I have savings of £5000, the welfare payments are due to stop in November 2028.

That's why everyone wants to come to the UK cos they think they will be made legal and receive that kind of welfare, but the welfare amount other people here get is usually £1500 a month, some less.

I am classed as having a disability, that is the reason. I had a nervous breakdown when I was working as a civil servant.
 

What I'm saying this that transference does not occur exclusively with patients that have experienced trauma and also is not exclusive to PTSD patients. Patients can experience transference with their therapists when they identify them with powerful (read meaningful) relationships in their own lives.

Case in point would be my experience of transference with my therapist because he made me think of my son and I felt the urge to care for (bake for) him. I have an excellent, loving relationship with my son and it is also a very powerful relationship in my life.

The bottom line is that transference is not exclusive to trauma, abuse or even power dynamics and can occur in any therapist / patient relationship.

Also, transference occurs with every day people relationships, when people meet a new person who reminds them of someone else, they unconsciously infer that the new person has traits similar to the person previously known.
