I didn't mean to reinforce your fears. :(
I've got some serious issues of my own on this subject. The pdoc from Hades nearly destroyed my relationship with my therapist through his lack of discretion. He pretty much passed things on to me, supposedly from my therapist, that I hope were stated more bluntly than my therapist stated them. It took years to repair the damage caused.
Sigh. At the very least I hope my therapist no longer thinks those things about me.
I think you're able to revoke a consent form. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, why don't you ask to revoke it? If you think you can come to terms with it, perhaps you can discuss it with both of them before deciding.
From what you've said, I'm not sure if transference is the right way to categorize your feelings about your therapist. Did your pdoc give any explanation of why he thought your feelings were based in transference rather than in reality? Is the explanation worth considering?
A consulting psychiatrist once wrote off all my feelings toward the pdoc from Hades and my therapist as tranference. I've since found out that many people dislike that pdoc, so if it's transference it must be a group phenomenon (among a group who have never met). And as I told my therapist, it's awfully convenient to him if my feelings about him can be considered transference. That if I get mad because he's late, falls asleep, forgets what I say, or returns phone calls poorly, maybe it's just him I'm mad at.
To his credit, my therapist thought the whole thing was hilarious, and "transference" is now a shared joke between us. Brought up gingerly and with lots of humor on his part.
