Does it bother you if T is your age or younger?
Do you think the transferance acts the same?

My t. is about the same age as me. I mentioned to him that he would look amazingly like Dr. Drew Pinsky if he wore glasses. He laughed and said he hears that about once a week. I think he's very handsome in a "doctor" sort of way. Serious, with caring expressive eyes that say everything

I'm only in my early 20s, so all my T's are older than me right now.
 She's probably in her early-mid 30s though.

I'm 26 and my T is in his mid 50s and looks good to me so that only fuels the transference because I've always had an intellectual, older man thing.

My first T when I got one here in Arkansas was older then the next one was about the same age and I found myself with a huge crush on him...the one I worked with the longest and had most recently til he died was about the same age about 6 years older than me and the one I have now is about my mom's age and we get along well. I like Dr. McCain and respect her a lot.

All of my doctors are around my age! How cool is that? My physical therapist, my pain mgmt psychologist, my oral surgeon, my orthodontist, my MD, my neuro opthalmologist. Hmmmm. I think there's a trend here.

My T and I are both about the same age. We are both middle-aged, married and originally came from the same neighborhood in a large city. And the transference is a major problem here too!

The first social worker I got close to was when I was 16, she was about 10 years older. It worked well.
I am now 22 and my T is in her mid-50's. We work really, really well together.

My T is about six years older than me and it is a good fit.

I'm 48 and my T is 41. Our ages are great, no problem. We get along great. I look to him as a father since mine was abusive. I don't feel my age anyways. People can't believe it if I tell them my age. I'm emotionally immature. I'm still growing up.

I don't think I could work with a young T. My T is my age, about, I think. I'm not good at guessing ages but she seems to be my age or a little older.
I think the transference works the same. What do you think? |

Yummmm.... I think I'd never be able to concentrate on what I was saying if my therapist looked like Dr. Drew. He's my physical ideal.
My therapist is five years older. As I'm getting older more and more of my doctors are younger than I am, but I'm pretty sure I like my therapist to be older. Or at least seem older. Dinah __________________ Dinah |
