I guess maybe we ARE the lucky ones - perhaps that could be a question for those who are looking for a new therapist - ask them up front how they handle transference issues? (for those who have never been in therapy - trust me - this is a subject that is likely to come up at some point, whether you use the term 'transference' or not!)
As for those currently in therapy who don't know how your therapist would react - I hope you are as fortunate as I have been. My therapist is very accepting of being 'loved'.
And I hope that, some day, when I am a therapist, I will handle those situations with the grace and professionalism that my therapists and pdoc have handled them with. All the more reason to continue with my own therapy...
