How long did you see your old therapist? How long has it been since you stopped seeing him? If mine were to become my ex-therapist for any reason (after nearly ten years together) I'd consider it the same as losing any other important person in my life, I think. Not transference, necessarily.
I think therapists do get frustrated from time to time. At least mine does. But he's usually over it by the next week, and it doesn't affect our long term relationship.
Is crying such an inappropriate reaction? Unpleasant to be sure. But maybe you're releasing what needs to be released.
