Not sure what you mean by "this is transference". Did your therapist explain it that way? I know what the term means, I just fail to see how it explains anything here (or in general).
Sounds like it is simply a painful and upsetting experience. Having someone give you an approximation of what you need, but never the real thing… can be a very cruel thing, at least in my experience.
