I've had transference in terms of reacting to t as if she would react like my parents would have. I wouldn't say it's a longing for any of my t's to be anything other than a t (though that had popped up in the past briefly, mostly when we cover difficult abuse or trauma issues. It's a longing for safety and nurturing). I tend to worry t is mad at me a lot of the time. I'm starting to be able to pinpoint it more easily. I find myself concerned that I've upset t for one reason or another, but then I realize it's a fear from the past and not valid at all to the current situation... I've talked about it with the few t's it's happened with, and they've all seemed to take it in stride.
I can recall only one or two instances of erotic transference, both times starting as an immediate physical attraction upon meeting them the first time (they both very closely matched my "ideal type"), so I'm not sure how much it was transference or just sexual attraction.
Granted, I don't have much memory of the interactions with several of my t's due to dissociation, but this is what I can easily recall.
