<chuckle>My feelings, however, are a bit different - I agree that perhaps you should be wary of being completely open about your feelings with your therapist, if you are afraid of being abandoned...
BUT
if your therapist terminates b/c you express strong feelings for him or her, then *perhaps* you are better off...
b/c, IMO, those feelings are something that need to be dealt with IN the therapeutic relationship, as part of the therapeutic relationship - and therapists shouldn't be running from them...
