To me, falling in love with your T is not, per se, Transferance. This is how I understand transferance:
Transference – In PSYCHOANALYSIS, the phenomenon by which the patient projects certain feelings or emotions onto the therapist, or casts him/her into a certain role. For instance, the therapist may be seen as possessing the same traits as a father-figure about whom the patient had ambivalent feelings. becoming more and more in control of such feelings is a process known to psychoanalysts as WORKING THROUGH. Cf. COUNTER-TRANSFERENCE.
