There's lots of posts about transference on here and mostly we all hate it. It is a very common integral part of therapy, every therapist is taught about it in their training and there are books and papers dedicated to this very subject. Transference also happens in every single relationship/friendship we encounter in life, it affects how we interact with people.

So it struck me as strange how we as clients have so much shame around transference. And i wondered if anyone knows why we feel shamed by it so much?
