yeah. hate. avoidance. anger. withdrawal.

defences...

(projection, denial, projective identification etc are different ways of avoiding / withdrawing from t)

also... devaluation (opposite of idealisation).
such feelings as:

condescending / seeing t as imcompetent or insignificant or ineffectual. powerless.

(these are all meant to be defences i think... but then... i've heard that postitive transference (idealising) is a defence too. i'm not sure about that... dunno... some theorists say that idealisation is a good thing because haveing faith in the therapists benevolence and power can help motivate the client to look at the hard stuff)
