It may be that you're experiencing transference. I know people talk a lot about that here but most of the threads have been about erotic (romantic) transference. It's a powerful way to work through issues. I know I have had some emotions towards T and although I suspected they were transference, I allowed myself to fully experience them so that we both could recognize more easily my issues.
The following is an article that explains it more fully:
