Yeah, I think the emotional attachment thing can feel like an affair. And in my case, the attachment was not maternal at all. I had a very predictable erotic thing going on! I rationalise it by telling myself the nature of the transference has a lot to do with particular things I was talking about in therapy, and so it was inevitably going to be an erotic thing, but it's still uncomfortable, even after termination.
I don't exactly keep it a secret; I just don't talk about it to my husband and he doesn't ask, but I'm pretty sure he knows. He just doesn't want to hear about it. Much like an affair, really! But definitely not an actual affair. I wouldn't want a relationship with my T in real life. Of course, that was the subject of the original post that started this whole thing...
