With my last T, I think it took me about 5 sessions to recognize that I'd developed positive transference. I never really told him.

With my current one, I'm not sure that what I feel for him is transference. I have a hard time distinguishing that from the feelings of being relieved, grateful and appreciative of someone who gives me unconditional acceptance. This time around, I want to keep my T informed of how I'm feeling. If, as I've read, some of the most important work in therapy comes out of working through transference, I want to make sure I tackle it this time.
