transference: I have pretty much only positive with T. I think.... What are some examples of negative transference? I know I've never been angry with him. But what are some non-anger, negative transference examples?

Although I didn't include it in the quote, what you wrote about the feelings towards your T were beautifully stated. It's exactly what I was trying to get at.
As far as non-anger negative transference. The example I think of has to do with rejection. I believe I transfer onto my T the way I feel about others who I feel have rejected me. Sometimes I will come in, arms crossed, coat still on, one word answers. I don't do this because I am angry at him. I do it because I want to regress to the point in therapy in which I wasn't open, and wasn't making any progress. I see progress as "bad" because if I make progress, then I will "get better" and he will terminate me, thus becoming another person who will reject me. I hope that helped.
