It also sounds to me like she is not a therapist who thinks working through the transference is useful or important. Many (maybe even most) believe that it's the key to the therapeutic relationship and holds many clues to the client's needs and relationship issues. Unfortunately, there are also those who get freaked out by it.

Hi there! I'd like to know more about why you think it's a counter transference issue. I really am curious, since it's the thing that offended me the most about the situation.
I guess writing it all out limits info. I think I didn't articulate that she actual does think it's all important. When I told her I was sorry I said anything, she said, "Why? It's all important in here." I think we will talk more about it. I get the impression she think's it's very important, but not sure she'd ever address w/ me any counter-transference (should she?). That's why I was most curious to read more of your thoughts! Thanks for the input, it does help!
