Never Talk To Your Therapist About Romantic Transference

You may have seen this video by Katie Morton titled “I have a CRUSH on my Therapist!” or read this article by Dr. Ryan Howes titled “A Client’s Guide to Transference” where they talk about how “it’s good” to talk to your therapist about romantic transference. If you don’t know what this means, romantic transference is where you feel romantic feelings towards your therapist. This is usually due to some unresolved underlying needs that haven’t been met elsewhere in the client’s life. What they don’t tell you is how this is actually a very bad idea, and many therapists will straight up abandon their clients over this, in their alleged “safe, non-judgemental space”.

Just go through the comment section of Katie Morton’s video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuF9IHzVets) and see how many people had this exact thing happen to them after doing this.
