Transference is more than feelings, in that you project an expectation onto someone of who/how they will be, then interact with the projection rather than the actual person. Eg, my Mum was always really dismissive of my stuff, so I get scared sharing stuff with T because I think she will dismiss it too. I'm transferring my internalisation of my Mum onto my T.
I've had erotic and maternal transference for this T, and for various tutors, T's, colleagues etc
