Thanks for all the explanations! They made sense and I'll check out the links this evening. I don't think my T reminds me of anyone in my past or that I'm transferring anger to her (but maybe I'm in denial, I'll have to think about this more). I do have a fear of her rejecting me.

I do think that I've become really attached to her and wish I could talk to her a lot more than our every other week sessions. I keep trying to get up the nerve to ask to see her once a week. Is wanting to talk to her more often and wishing she would give her opinion more often also transference?

Is transference something that a client should try and overcome or is it just something that happens?
