My therapist would say that is not only OK but that it is absolutely necessary for healing. You need to have strong attachment feelings in order to work through all these hurts. They will help you stay with it when the going gets tough. And other fears and issues will surface around these feelings.
And don't be surprised if they shift and change. I was shocked when I realized that some of the intense little kid longings had shifted into adult longings and it was so confusing. But even then, it was still OK.
I do know how hard this is and how scary. But you have a good therapist. You'll be OK.
