Hi everyone, I was just kind of wondering about something. I never had any sort of erotic transference with a T until my last T. And I don't have any erotic transference with my current T; but I do have along history of having erotic/maternal transference with teachers to the point of unhealthy obsession.

So my question is if you have some kind of significant transference with your T (maternal, erotic, hostile, etc.) do you find that you have that same kind of transference with similar figure outside of (or before) therapy? Or if you only have transference in therapy why do you think it happens there, but not in other relationships? And if you have transference in multiple relationships do you think that it is better to have it in therapy vs. other places, or do you think it doesn't matter?
