Ok, so this is a popular topic of discussion here. I know that a general recommendation is to read "In Session" which talks about this issue in detail.
I think you have to remind yourself that when you are really vulnerable that someone who listens, is caring and supports you will cause this kind of reaction. The parts you don't know are all the stuff about true relationships that we don't see. And, your therapist can not be your friend, date or otherwise engage in "normal" relationship behavior. You don't really want to lose a good Therapist...
This can be a painful process and I know a lot of people struggle through it. It sounds like you are talking about it, just keep doing that. The more "real" you make the feelings, the less powerful they are.
Glad you are doing so well.
