I've never had transference for my therapists, but I know I have absolutely experienced transference in certain other relationships. I am relieved that it happens that way for me because I can take those real life issues to my therapist and talk through them with him without having the messy issues of transference for my therapist tangling things up in my therapy itself. I feel like I am able to deal with those real life issue pretty quickly and directly without getting waylaid along the way with transference complications with my therapist. Doesn't seem quite as complicated as what so many describe when they have such strong transference problems directly with their therapist . . . at least from what I gather from descriptions here.
