Yes. In my experience it can also change over time as well. My current T started off session one with a TON of transference from a priest I had known in college. In all fairness, in looking for a new T I was specifically looking for someone like that priest as he had been so helpful. Now a year later it is kinda funny because even T admits that he has a lot in common with the priest. Now he has a different kind of transference that is more of an archetype than transference from a specific person. We have found it fun and extremely helpful to discuss the transference as it grows, changes and develops over time.
