Hmm, interesting question.
I don't think you should take her transference personally. I'm not sure if you are, but it kinda sounds like it from your post. Some studies show that transference (to a normal degree) is theraputic and can't be avoided. In fact I read an article (whose name escapes me) and it said that transference is a sign of the beginning of recovery. But, unless I am not reading your post clearly, it sounds like your girlfriend made up some stuff. Am I correct on that? Or, did she just misinterpret some of the stuff her pdoc told her?
I am not sure why she is having trouble showing you affection. Do you think it has to do with her transference? Maybe there is another cause for it that she is currently discussing in therapy, like maybe sexual abuse she suffered when she was a child. It's hard to say. You know her better than I do. Let me know what you think about all this.
