One of my T's had no idea I even had any attachment to him until I told him months later the reason why I chose to see another therapist weekly and cut him down to twice a month was because I was painfully attached to him and I needed to break it. He kept shacking his head back and forth saying "I had no idea." He is such a strict CBT Therapist that it blinds him I think.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
