Wait. I'm curious about this statement. Is this something the *new* potential T said to you?
In every article I'ver read on this subject, advising clients what to do about transference, the advice is almost always to at least attempt to talk it out and process these feelings with the therapist. A GOOD Therapist should handle it well and be able to listen without judgment.
You may not get the answer you would like, but it grounds you and 'talking it out' diffuses the shame and empowers the client to be honest about their own feelings.
Unless the target T isn't trustworthy for some other reason, in that case, you should seek someone else anyways.
