I have very strong maternal transference for my therapist. They got to a point where it was unbearable and controlling my life. I was scared to death to tell my therapist. I was scared she would terminate me or the relationship would change. Neither of those happened. When I told her I asked her if she was familiar with transference and she said she was. I took a deep breath and told her everything. She said she was happy I told her and that its normal and its important we work through it together. She has helped me so much with it. I still have times where its triggered and gets intense again but for the most part its tolerable now. The best thing I did was tell my therapist about these feelings. I hope you can tell your T and he can help you with it.
