Eh, transference is such a problematic term. I'll let people more schooled than me weigh in on the meaning of the word.
I guess there could be lots of reasons you don't feel the intense attachment to your current T that you felt with your counselor. You're older and more experienced, for one--so maybe being armed with the knowledge of transference does prevent it--but I would expect it has more to do with what your needs are now vs then. Maybe you feel more secure, or are getting those lovin' feelin's met outside of therapy where you weren't before?
