Transference is feelings which originate in or replay relationships from earlier in life, so if you are attached, the two are almost certainty intertwined. (ET is more easily identifiable as sexual feelings, so it doesn't sound like that's what you are experiencing here)
I think sometimes we can tie ourselves in knots trying to work out whether we're experiencing transference or attachment or what. Essentially the label isn't as important as you might think and simply exploring the feelings as they arise and allowing them space to emerge will probably be enough.
I don't think a label will vastly impact on your T's interventions. Most competent Ts will respond to these feelings with warm acceptance and allow you to explore them at your own pace.
Thanks for this!
