Well, whether or not you have transference, I think aside from that, it *is* quite rude for a T to fall asleep during a session. It's also unprofessional. It's her job to keep herself awake.
Another pet peeve of mine is when a T will apologize by saying, "I'm sorry that I hurt you" or some such thing, instead of saying, "I'm sorry that I fell asleep". I mean, isn't she sorry that she fell asleep? I always think it sounds like they're trying to put it all on the client, as if the hurt comes from the client's issues, and not the general unprofessionalness of falling asleep when one is supposed to be working.
I don't blame you at all for being angry. I bet she's expecting to work with this in your therapy this week.
