That way you are being honest with her - what more could a therapist (or anyone else) want from a person? Maybe you could ask if (when you bring it up) it is an OK time to talk about transference.

My T is so lovely. There have been things I needed to say in the past and told her I was worried about telling her and she said straight up "I won't judge you. You're safe here." So I guess that's already answered my own question about what she will think.
It's just a very difficult thing to talk about with it being related to a past & current pain and I just don't understand it at all.

Hoping she will give me some insight into this confusing phase I'm going through. I think I've already experienced her counter transference a couple of times but I didn't know it at those times! She kept it well hidden but I pick up on a persons feelings quite easily.

I'll let you know how it goes.
