I don't know what to tell you about telling your T how you feel. It sounds like it would be a good step for you to be able to say it to someone and mean it. However, you should be prepared for your T not to say it back to you.
I say all this because I told my T once that I love her. She asked me what kind of love? I explained that it was more like the way a daughter loves her mother. She never said anything back and when I got brave, I asked her about it. She said something about feeling affection toward me that translated into love. I was really hurt for awhile, but I think I realized that she would have said she loves me if she wasn't afraid it would give me the wrong idea (lots of transference there). I guess what I'm saying is that I know she loves me whether she says it or not.
