It does not have to be "parental or sexual" which are the most common in therapy ... it could be "i feel misunderstood" or "i'm afraid you will leave" and hence we respond accordingly.

Eh, maybe. i'm not really convinced I transfer feelings about my childhood, etc. onto/into every relationship I deal with every day. I know some believe we do, but I don't particularly see that.
I do think I deal with transference at times within my relationships; I know my husband certainly does this quite blatantly. But the question was about transference with the therapist, and I just haven't run into it personally with any of my therapists.
