Hey deserve listeners, so I didn't really expect this, but I received a lot of emails in response

to my episodes on baby reindeer.

And upon reading some of them, I thought I have to share these emails with y'all. Some of these

emails are extremely interesting. This first email is from listener Susan. She says, I stalked a therapist for

years by phone. I stalked a therapist. I'm assuming her own therapist. I'm sure I stalked a therapist for years by phone

I was so angry with him and I knew I was extremely ill

but I could do nothing about it. I knew I was extremely ill but I couldn't do anything about it. Your video explains my behavior so well.

It's providing me with another stepping stone of understanding towards improving myself.

I stocked this poor therapist online through a psychology forum. I would write terrible things about him and other people on the forum were responding to me with understanding. On the forum we supported each other in our

combined madness and therapy transference love. So just chim being in here, I think what Susan is saying is that her and everybody else on this

forum or a lot of the people on the forum were experiencing transference love for their therapists in that we will tend to

transfer our important significant past relationships often with our parents, we will transfer that relationship

onto our therapist.

We will displace and we will see our therapist as if they are the person in our past, even though the therapist isn't doing

anything that would justify that.

We might have an abusive parent and then we might feel abused by our therapist and that's what we call

transference or displacement and it's confusing but it's a part of therapy and it's

normal it happens all the time sometimes clients might fall in love

with their therapists so Susan is saying that they were all on this forum encouraging

each other regarding that distortion regarding

transferring onto the therapist going on. We all had an addiction to our

therapists and we were all suffering.
