My transference to Ts is largely negative. It takes me a long time to trust women and there has been no reason at all for me to not trust my female ts. For that, it has just taken time. I start with being unsure I want to pursue therapy with female t, then a long time (like a year) of slowly deciding I will stick w/t, then a slow opening up about my stuff. I tell them right away that I have trust issues, especially with women. But I am confident they know that without me saying anything.
Like other posters, for me the issue is attachment rather than transference. And I don't seem to work like many others. I attach strongly and quickly to male ts and my dad was a good parent. He raised me and my brother and was always the solid person I could/can rely on. I think I am different from others because of DID. My littles still miss my dad (he's alive, lives just a few hours away) and want him daily. And my littles are really good at eliciting nurturing from men. It is slowly getting better.
