I'm truly sorry if you think I'm arguing with you. Sometimes I seem to give that impression when I'm really not arguing. I promise I'm not. I wish I could somehow speak, so that you could hear my voice and the sincerity in it.
As for the repeating yourself, I'm sorry about that too :) I have a tendancy to make people talk in circles. But, I really honestly don't believe that hearing that from a therpist would help many people. Maybe it would help you, maybe it wouldn't. You seem convinced that it would. I really seem convinced that it wouldn't help many people.
If you think that hearing those words from your therapist would somehow help with a sort of breakthrough in your therapy, why not just ask about it? I think that bringing this matter out in the open will definitely advance your therapy. I don't necessarily agree that hearing that your therapist is attracted to you will advance therapy, but bringing your feelings out into the open and discussing them will. And also, telling your therapist that you feel she may be attracted to you will also help advance your therapy.
So, again I'm very sorry if you feel I've been arguing with you at any point that we've been communicating. If I've given you that impression, I apologize. If you'd rather I not correspond with you, feel free to let me know. I've just been giving you my honest opinion, as I frequently do with everyone. But I didn't mean to come across as harsh in the least bit. But, I also don't walk around on egg shells either. Again, if you'd rather me not give you my opinion on the matter, I won't. But, when I ask for honest answers, I truly appreciate them.
