I have exactly this problem too. So far my T has been nothing but validating and understanding towards me yet the fear is still strong. I also fantasize about T taking care of me in a motherly way. T is only about 10 years older than me at the most so that kind of makes the maternal transference that much more weird for me.
I have experienced transference with my two previous Ts too but not as intensely as current T.
