I did like parts of the article.
I did not agree with this statement:
"Simply, positive transference is when you like your therapist, and negative transference is when you don't."
That statement seemed at odds with another statement in the article, which I do agree with:
"Transference is feelings from your past interactions with others that you transfer into current relationships."
I do believe that a client can like a therapist without it being due to feelings for people from one's past. I don't think we need to turn everything into transference.
