Soliaree, I'm never quite sure what people mean when they say "transference" as there seem to be different definitions. I do not experience the type of transference where I transfer feelings toward my mother or father onto my T and react to him as if he is them (e.g. getting angry at him because of something my mother did to me 30 years ago). But I do experience profound and deep attachment to my therapist, and I have heard some people call this transference. I was very uncomfortable and scared with the attachment at first and at times resisted it. It was so scary to let someone get so close to me and to need him so very very much. But as time passed I felt more and more comfortable with my attachment and the high degree of trust and caring between us. He showed me many times through his words and actions that it was safe to attach to him. I had some profound moments of realizing I could really trust him and was able to let go of some of my fears of abandonment by him. I still have difficulties some times, like simply emailing the guy last week was hard, but overall, I am very comfortable with how strongly attached I am to him. In fact, I love it. But I am not ready for termination.
