I don't think it is transference, but I have never had the happy, warm etc reaction to therapists or therapy. With the first one I see, I look at it like going to have teeth drilled without novocaine. At best it is rather neutral. More often it is going into a boxing ring. The second one I see is mostly a neutral experience. No boxing ring with her, but still not all yea I get to go see the therapist sorts of thing.
