I know what you mean, Dinah, but we use the word all the time in life despite its ambiguity (and "loadedness").

I thought therapists and patients often did say those words to each other. I personally have never done it, but I've heard stories from others. Am I wrong?

Do others agree that it's foolish? Dinah, have you ever told your therapist you love him/her?


> Love is a loaded word. It has so many meanings that I think a therapist would be foolish to use it. Too much room for misinterpretation.
