travelluvr...try reading this piece on attachment...scroll down to the heading "The Therapist as an Attachment Figure"

As for transference...there are many types of transference so it's hard to know where to send you to read. There is even negative transference where you attribute negative characteristics you encountered with people in your past to your therapist. The opposite side of this is erotic transference, which pretty much says that you have a passionate attraction to your T or a strong desire for your T. I would suggest reading In Session by Deborah Lott (available usually on Amazon). She explains a lot about this.

Why are you sure you are experiencing both?
