Therapists having seen and heard it all

One therapist told me she had not seen such an intensity of "transference" before. But I am less bothered by how therapists reacted to what i said, than by the thought of them sitting there voyeuristically consuming the details of my personal life.

My Ts never told me that. The second one said numerous times how unique, special, different etc I was... I was not impressed as I was told those things by people in my whole life, and I believe everyone is a unique combination just as much as there are characteristic, common patterns in human nature and suffering. I did not like the comment also because my T tended to use it when he was clueless and had nothing useful to say. I do believe that life experience can take us to a stage where we are not easily (or at all) shocked, one does not need to be a therapist for that, just open to experience and the variety around. It does not mean that one has seen every version of issues, combinations and severity.
