The article went into taking the therapist to bed as in erotic transference. I guess on one hand they have a point around emotional and physical intimacy... the bed being a place where for most, is where intimacy occurs and therapy is intimate (well my kind is).

There might have even been a part of it with my T of having her tuck me in.. in that motherly transference way.

However, with covid after like the 2nd or 3rd visit, I decided I didn't like how I looked leaning back on my pillows so I found another place in my house - my gym. I wonder if that means I'm less erotically connected? . I know the video sessions are not working for me at all and I'm trying to decide when to stop therapy all together since there doesn't seem to be an end any time soon in my area and with my T. I don't know, maybe I need to take it back to the bed ... bedroom
That's really interesting, thanks for sharing. I did think about having sessions from bed, but then decided to stick with the sofa instead. I do wonder what my T would think if one day I connected to the zoom call from bed, wearing a silky nightgown thing and with lots of candles around. Not that I'd ever do that, but i would love to see his reaction. He'd probably be a bit worried.

On a serious note, I'm sorry that the video sessions are not working for you. The only thing that gets me through is the reminder (both from my logical mind and from him) that this is temporary and one day we will be in the same room again. I don't think i could do without video sessions until this is over. Have you thought about phonecalls instead of video? That way, you can definitely take them from bed!
