I imagine your therapist would like to help you with these feelings. They are natural in a close therapeutic relationship. Try not to be hard on yourself.
Instead of framing your feelings as trying to "get over" think of wanting to work through them with your therapist. Most therapist expect these types of feelings to be brought into the room. Make peace with these feelings. They are full of love.
I agree knowing your t is friends with one of your co-workers would be difficult. I'm not sure how I would handle that ... from a co-worker perspective.
Becoming a mom brings so many new feelings to the surface. For me it made me more angry with my mother, realizing how un-motherly she was. It's something I continue to struggle with 5 years of therapy later.
