I ask this because I have a strong hunch that my t wants me to go back to her, I previously ended and went back, I know this sounds like me transferring onto her, but....she is needy in her own way, I am well confused!!

Definitely. They're human. They can come to like the client, even at times love the client. The ethical ones try their best to remain neutral and treat a client...as a client. But that doesn't mean nothing is going on beneath the surface.
