well definitely that. But i was hoping for the more technical term

If this were multiple choice, I'd know it, but I can't think of the word.

None so far are correct though.

WTF, transference? "Yo man! I know your Momma slapped you but don't be transferencing it on to me by slapping me to! Damn!"

 

[spidey07]

transference is very real and very well understood.

Nice DigDug.

-edit-
Although I still think the OP is talking about projection.

I thought it was projection too, we just studied that.

me too.

Transference is more of a counseling term that needs to be watched when the client makes a connection with the therapist related to what is being discussed.

Projection is more of a "projection" of ones feeling unto another that may not be related to the party involved in those emotions.

Wouldn't it be displacement?

Displacement. Dealing with emotional stressors by redirecting emotion from a 'dangerous' object to a 'safe' object. For example, a worker is angered by his superior but suppresses his anger; later, on return to his home, he punishes one of his children for misbehaviour that would usually be tolerated or ignored.
