Ah. That makes more sense. Yeah, one of the goals of therapy is to make you aware of transference as it comes up. That way, when it appears in the future, you can call it as you see it and know not to react on it.
PS - I chose a female T after dealing with positive transference from a male mentor. I didn't want that to happen again in a situation I couldn't deal with it, and I figured it would be less severe with a female T. Nope. I was wrong. It's just as severe, but in the opposite direction, and even worse because talking about it means telling my extremely kind and caring T that I distrust her and believe she is out to hurt me. Yay.
