I imagine it must be supremely disturbing to have this happen in therapy if you've never experienced before.

That's probably true.
I went into therapy DETERMINED to NOT have strong feelings for my T.
My maternal transference had wrecked a very valuable and long standing relationship for me.
All I wanted was help with my newly diagnosed chronic illness.
And I managed for nearly two years.
Then I had a heart attack at 38 and almost died
I decided life was too short to waste with all.my fears and old wounds.
The rest is history....
