I think discouraging transference isn't supposed to be about discouraging talking about it so much as discouraging those feelings to start with.

If the feelings aren't there then there isn't anything to talk about.

That is to be contrasted with varieties of therapy that actively try and encourage transference feelings because it is believed that you have to have those feelings and work through (and talk about) those feelings in order to make progress.

But some people develop transference feelings despite the therapist trying to prevent those.

Then I guess they need to decide whether to help the client deal with them not not.
