It's hard, but ideally it would be great if you were able to share these feelings with your T. Some T's are trained to work with/through these feelings, it's a part of the therapy process. What orientation is your T? Psychodynamic therapists (and others) expect strong feelings to emerge. I know how painful these feelings can be (experience them myself, slightly different form, I'm female w/a female T, but I feel so attached to her).
How often do you go?
For myself, I found talking about it here, gaining insight and knowledge, it was easier for me to talk about it in therapy. That being said, having talked about attachment and longing, etc. ... it's still painful. But at least it's something we continually come back to and chip away at this "need" (who knows what "it" is).
