Yes, inappropriate countertransference in an unaware therapist is extraordinarily dangerous. Interestingly, though, transference and (appropriate) countertransference are among the most important tools in a psychodynamic therapist's "toolbox". They are extremely useful in analyzing and supporting the patient.
Ditto -- I enjoy and appreciate your wise and funny posts and have noticed that we definitely are on the same page in our views. If you ever have reason to come through the Chicago area, PM me -- I'd love to get together and

gossipchat about SD and life!Lol, I started to post the word gossip myself earlier and changed it just like you, too funny! I actually was born in Milwaukee, WI and usually fly through O'Hare airport when I visit. I miss the arts & culture scene but not the snow.
I agree with your take on the usefulness of transference in the right settings. Most of my reading in this area has been about the potential for misplaced intimacy. I noticed they referred to projection and found that an interesting read as well.
Because of his highly sensitive nature he is eager to please and want's very much to fit in to the community virtual or real life. He most desires to appreciate and be appreciated. He is easily wounded and worries about what others think about him. At the same time he is more concerned about other's feelings and goes out of his way to champion any perceived underdogs.
On his worst days he will question his worth and abilities and tend to shun interacting with others. These days are far and few between as he generally has a sunny outlook and desires more than anything to just be part of the group. Because he is both articulate and easy-going this is not difficult.
I suggest that it is a good thing to assert yourself more and not worry so much about what other's think. Stop trying to please others and focus more on pleasing yourself. You are the recipient of more love and respect than you allow yourself to see or accept. Your first step will be to accept the love and approval that you crave that are being offered. Next, give yourself permission to say NO. Do not continue to allow fear and anxiety to hold you back from what you really want to accomplish. You have more strength than you give yourself credit for and you will succeed if you trust your inner voice.
Peace.
Anytime..public or PM. whichever you most feel comfortable with.

Are we going to explore your Oedipus Complex this evening. If so I'll pour another glass of wine because it could take some time.
