Well, thanks for clarifying that... I am still not comfortable telling him about it, though -- at least right now.
I realized another kind of transference that I experienced, too. I was sent to counseling by someone at my school because I got in trouble, and later there was a further development in the same trouble and the person who sent me to counseling in the first place actually called the psychologist to ask if I was a "danger to [my]self or others." (They had forced me to sign something that allowed the psychologist to discuss me with them.) It reminded me of the many times in my childhood that I got in trouble in school (usually unjustly, or at least disproportionately to what I did) and the principal called my parents. So I guess I thought of the psychologist sort of as a parental figure.
Except, when my parents were called, I always felt it was a bad thing (in fact, I always begged the principal not to call my parents), because it meant my parents would be mad at me and maybe punish me. But in this case, I felt like the psychologist was going to defend me and maybe even "tell off" this other person that he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
