Of course, I could have maternal transference with a female T, too. These are the first T's I've had any sort of transference with, really, which could be something about them or just about how long I've been seeing each of them (or both).
And you're right that the type of person I'm describing might be all wrong for me. I just know that someone telling me that you can't control your feelings/that feelings are neither good nor bad--they just are, and then feeling like I'm being a bit pushed away because of those feelings, isn't working for me either.

You're right, you can't know at first sight if there will be transference. Maybe if you do go look for a new T, ask potential T's how they think about transference, how they would handle it?
