Sure, I can see that happening with other emotions too.
This just goes to show though that it isn't just a matter of what you think, often it seems the exJWer only deals with this level and no real change has happend. Not only that, you got some people who have had some glimpse of this and then that understanding gets turned into a thought, but that's essentially the same thing as any other thought or belief. It does you no good to adopt this understanding as a philosophy, as far as actually being free is concerned.
Basically, even if you are able to identify some kind of thought which makes the other delusions hang together, (think the rug in The Big Lebowski) if you see through that and subsequently gets rid of that whole structure built around it, there is a good chance but still no guarantee that you will see through the thinking mind itself. You will have seen through this big elaborate story, but that tendancy to build such structures, (and again we are not talking thoughts here) whether it's an emotional dynamic or whatever, may still be there.
Looked at another way, it's not that there is a transference per se but rather the delusion just changed form. Whatever form it takes though, it is always "me." But that me doesn't see that, it can't. It may develop a certain degree of intellectual sophistication, even emotional maturity, but it's essential nature stays the same. Any effort it makes to get over this kind of stuff will just be an adaptation, perhaps having certain experiences and then forming/accepting a certain kind of intellectual understanding of such.
And this is kind of where the danger of destroying delusions come in, because essentially that me is destroyed. Of course it just means that the delusion is seen as such, but from that egoic perspective it is a big deal. ('I'm being destroyed!' vs. '... well that was silly.') And really it's not so much that there is some kind of devastating violent thing, but if someone is not ready for it then there might be a lack of psychological coherence which is of course necessary to function as a human being. So when you get to the root of it it isn't emotional in nature, emotions is just a manifestation of it.
What I say is probably not that useful if you want to just not have the fear or whatever feeling, I don't know how you might manage it without actually uprooting the whole thing thoroughly. The trick is of course to do it while still keeping a functional psyche, you're just not under the impression you are the psyche. In the beginning when you let go enough you may notice all kinds of conditioning come up, but that's not necessarily an indication of whether you are letting go. You can have all of it still there but just come to recognize that it doesn't matter, but then of course there is obviously something that is free from it all.
