It's ok to deny it of course but it's fruitless because things don't stop existing just because someone doesn't like them.

This is textbook straw man. I said nothing about denying the existence of transference. There is no possible way to get that from my post.
You are right. Every thread here mentions transference by name (and all the variations of it, by name). Same with every other forum, every blog, book, scholarly article. Everyone in therapy culture uses the same jargon, repeats the same dubious concepts. This stuff oozes from every pore of the therapy organism. If you are around it long enough, you get covered in this slime. It's hard to wash off.
