I'm going to print it out and when T comes back (still five weeks away) I'm going to talk about why it triggers me so badly.
Yeah I've experienced it as being the same. Whether it's erotic or parental, the intensity of the "love" feels the same.

Conversation with my therapist:

Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."

It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
Thanks for this!
