Sounds like your T is warm and caring and very professional.

the transference stuff is what drives people to say things to their T that force them to terminate the relationship for professional boundaries. You are so lucky you are by that. If you were to go there you would see walls flying up and no hand holding so do not try to fall in love with your T because you pay them big bucks to get better. That is a more worthy goal than falling in love with your T.

You are very lucky in many ways.
