I had MET with ex-T. It was so consuming and very painful. She kept blaming my inability to talk a lot and fear of her acting like my mom on the transference. I have been with my new T. for 7 months now. I have the exact same thing - MET- with her and the same issues of not opening up. But, it's not distressing at all because her reactions and interactions with me are completely different. So, it wasn't the transference - it was ex-T's temperament and the way she handled me.
