Transmission issue or just bad driving?

Ok so when drivin the car at normal speed 30-40 foot lightly on the gas. it works fine. But then if for no reason I decide to just floor the pedal the RPM shoots up but the speedometer does not go anywhere. However if I go from slightly pressing the pedal at 40, to gradually pressing down then the car speeds up and accelerates as it should. The high RPM with no acceleration thing only happens if I try to go from normal speed light gas to full on pedal to the metal. Now people have said that sound like transmission slipping. Im hoping that not the case for two reasons:

1. the car accelerates normally if you use the gas like “sane” person and it makes logical sense because if youre going at one speed, you dont instantly go from one speed to max speed just like that. Its a gradual process, you have to build momentum, so Im hoping thats whats happening here.

2. the car ha had transmission problems before. Its been rebuilt once, it works for awhile because having issues again so then it was replace with a brand new transmission and the computer that controls it had to be replace too. that was 6 months ago. Theres no reason I should be having issues like that after only 6 months right?
