Thank you everyone for your replies! It has been helpful to learn others have gone through this and it was well received by their T. I'm going to bring this up next session with T and see how it goes. I was already planning on telling T about this "fantasy" I have of her taking care of me like a mother would care for a young child when they're sick so I think that the "I love you" thing would fit right into that topic. I'm super embarrassed about telling T these things but it needs to be done.
