I think talking to your t about your transference is key to resolving it.
Someone just told me that she is 'scared' of her therapist. I said to her that I think it's important to mention that to her t, it will help her move forward in therapy. She said she'd never tell her t this! I cannot see this woman making much progress in therapy, because the resolution of the transference cannot happen if she is unwilling to talk about it. Push yourself if that's what it takes, but by all means do tell your t when you are feeling scared/intimidated/discounted/disbelieved/etc. vis a vis the therapist.
A good t will attend to your self-disclosure with sensitivity and compassion.
