I had a long term therapist, 6 years, and at that point in my life that was my longest (healthy) relationship.

I am not sure about any transference or counter transference issues but I do remember my therapist saying to me that he was surprised that I didn't get mad at him very often.

Does this help?
Wasn't really looking for help but just share and discuss our therapy ups and downs. I had one with transference and countertransference and it was a real uncomfortable situation. We ended up talking about them more than my issues, so I ended that situation.
