Kanga,
Talk about it with your therapist, then talk about it some more, and then when that is done, talk about it again and then start over talking about it.If he is a good therapist, then he should use this as a powerful tool to look at how you approach relationships in general.
Also, from my own personal experience, don't call it transference that label kind of diminishes how you feel, which is real and powerful.
The situation in which you experience transference may be a bit contrived, but the feelings aren't.
Allow yourself to enjoy them and grieve them, it will open up into a wonderful healing relationship with your therapist.
