welcome to babble linebored. I think you've come to just the right place. You are most definately not alone. In fact, here I think you are normal (at least that's what I've found).
One thing I know is that it is perfectly understandable, reasonable and all together appropriate to fall madly in love with your therapist.
I did, just about everyone here has in some form or another.
And why not? They are unconditionally nice to us, they listen and they can be very very gentle with all the hurt that just lives inside of us. For me at least, my therapist is the first person in my life that I have trusted - ever.
It's such an important relationship, but sometimes it hurts too, but somehow in the wash it all just ends up so very very healing.
As you feel more comfortable with us, I hope you will share your experience more. I hope you therapist was open and willing to accept your love and didn't become defensive as some can.
Again, the love is the good thing, the hurt needs to be talked about and talked about and talked about some more.
Again, welcome to babble. This is just my two cents.
Maddie
