This is a no win situation for both the therapist and the client.
The whole therapy idea is based on creating a pseudo relationship between the client and the therapist, and when the client gets mesmerized by the pseudo stuff and gets involved for real, then the therapist don't know how to deal with it or get scared and run.

It is hard to blame the therapist also, because their job requires them to talk lovingly, patiently whereas they know better not to get their heart involved.

And frankly, it is 1000 times more easier for the clients to get attracted to the therapist than vice versa. So poor clients go to therapy, pay for it, and get treated halfway and then are stuck with not progressing any further, either due to the intensity of the feelings and then get stuck with dealing with these things themselves. And therapists are also on a double edge, on one side willing to help the patients as much as possible, and on the other hand knowing the feelings that the client develops towards them but not knowing how to prevent it.
