With T1 I experienced maternal and erotic transference as well as a yearning attachment which I have since been told by a psychoanalyst is 'other' than transference and was caused by his inconsistent boundaries.
With T2 it's more complicated. Since he told me he has paternal feelings towards me (which he says are not countertransference as the originate in him) I have been thinking about him a lot more and imagining what it would be like to have him as my father. It's almost as though I'm having some sort of countertransference response to his feelings. It's a complicated thing, this therapy business.
