I wonder how many therapists are like him? I think some of the newer forms of therapy don't use transference as much.
My T sounds more like yours than others'. You know, I don't know if transference is a thing because T's talk about it, or if T's talk about transference because it's a thing. If that makes any sense.

Porque no los dos, I guess...
