I read it like this. Sometimes you are angry, but don't know why. But anger needs a target. In that case, you may end up shouting at anyone or everyone. That's transference.
Or you're fearful and don't know why, and end up with an irrational phobia.
Or you have a lot of love to give but no one to give it to. So you fall in love with your therapist.
