That sounds like typical transference indeed, you are projecting your expectations for relationships with male figures who you rely on onto your therapist, so that you expect him, on some level, to react like your father did.

It's not a good or bad thing, it's natural, though it's helpful to be aware of it! I believe the good comes from talking about it. That allows you to work through it and change it so that you can see things more clearly and work through any pain caused by your father's anger and dismissiveness in your life.
Thanks for this!
