Just want to chime in here about button-pushing therapists. If you both can handle the conflict, which can be intense, I think it's the shortest path to improvement. I had a non-confrontational therapist for years and my growth was very slow. I now have a more confrontational therapist and I'm growing much faster. The process is also more painful, however. But I'm dealing.
The transference is of the Bermuda Triangle type: strange, stormy, scary, deep.
Another way to look at it: I don't think I could handle this transference without my previous, more distant and calm transference with my first T.
