Let down or sad are exactly the words I would use to describe the feelings at the loss of the transference. And it is a loss... For me it was like a protective blanket, insulating me against, well, a lot of things. Sad, bereaved, empty, lonely. It's easier to wrap up in a warm fantasy of love that to face those things.
I don't think the feelings originated from the transference, I think they were there all along... I was hiding them from myself...
