Hi,
You are experiencing transference which is a natural phenonamia in psychotherapy. You are experiencing the blissfull childhood bond you should have been allowed to feel with your mother, or father or sibling, This is feeling that you have always had, but because you could not connect and get that blissful love back from your mother, or father or sibling or who-ever, you are now seeking to repair that in therapy.
A child has such a full and beautiful love, when it is recieved and held, he is able to trust in the world. When he is rejected or ignored he develops fear of trust in his people.
Let your younger self feel thatlove to the fullest extent, because you deserve to have that returned and create healing in your life. Don't worry your therapist will not act out with you, it is not really about romantic love, although even kids want to marry their mommy at some point! don't worry this is a much younger and more important love. It is the love that you need to internalize in order to trust as you live the rest of your life.All human being needs to go through that developmental phase. Trust me.
