I think the therapists should tell us before hand of what this transference is and how it could affect us in the initial phases of therapy. This whole therapy thing is based on creating a pseudo relationship and it is the patient who gets lured into thinking it is a real relationship, whereas it can never be. The therapists should warn us and educate us of this before hand in order to avoid the pain and shame it seems to be causing a lot of us. - Pinkeye.

I'm with you, Pinkeye. My therapist and I seem to have the same taste in books and movies; she acts like my friend. It's all to make me trust her, only I have trouble opening up to her because I want her to like me and she might not if she knew the things I am too ashamed to tell her about.
Therapists should talk to patients/clients about transference early on, before the patient/client starts experiencing it and then doesn't know how to deal with it.
