Azure, your experience seems to me to be more "pure" transference: as you say, the feelings reside within yourself to be examined within yourself. I worked that sort of transference through, but maybe where my experience was different was the existence of counter transferential feelings in my T. They were all very controlled and benign throughout the process, and would have remained only marginally revealed, if I had not wanted to keep the relationship. The fuller expression of his feelings came years after termination (and his retirement).
