This is something that's happened with my T. I've actually encountered all sorts of transference with her and she's really good about dealing with it. I wouldn't say that she encourages it, but she accepts it. The maternal transference is very strong I would say due to the poor relationship I had with my mother in childhood. The way my T explained it to me is that the little girl that's still inside me is trying to get what she didn't get when she needed it. Due to the relationship, there are lines she can't cross, but she's very good about soothing that little girl. I don't know if that 's what you were looking for, but that's my experience.
