Were you able to ever resolve/work through these feelings with the same therapist to the point that you felt the feelings were not interfering with your healing process and not causing you to feel pain or anxiety or confusion?

Sorry to hear that you've had such a hard time with this. I've also had a horrible time in this area and I feel for you.
The therapist that I had been with would have been very open at discussing my feelings. Unfortunately, I was forced to terminate with her before we were able to have that discussion because our relationship was deemed "unethical." The new therapist I went to tried to get me to talk about my feelings for old t (which still exist) but it was a horrible experience. i felt like I was being judged. She was also very vocal about her disapproval of my old t, which made things even more uncomfortable. So in that sense, she was not helpful in helping me resolve those feelings. I still have the feelings and it's even worse now because I feel like i can't talk to her about it.
