Yeah, MC telling me "It's OK" in his super-caring voice has a really strong comforting effect on me. Once I was really upset about something in session and crying, and he asked me a question, but I had trouble answering because I was crying so much. So I said, "I'm sorry" to him, and MC responded with the "It's OK," and the combination of his voice and the way he looked at me with so much caring was really powerful. Pretty sure it was that moment (plus a few other things from past sessions) that triggered my transference.
