In reply to To quit or fall in love with my therapist, posted by Trotter on November 11, 2008, at 14:10:36
As usual, I agree with Dinah and see the absolute wisdom in her words. I completely agree, there doesn't have to be a fall, just a growing attachment, trust and relationship.
If you commit yourself to therapy with this woman I myself predict that you will actually go through a range of emotions, some exceedingly uncomfortable, some really really nice.
To me, it almost sounds as though when you say love, you mean trust. Meaning you trust her to handle, care for, and treat you all at the same time.
It happens and is not all bad by any stretch.
I'm glad you posted here and can so articulately express how you feel and what your concerns are.
Keep us posted, and remember, there really isn't a wrong decision here. It's all about your comfort level and what you think you need/want the most out of therapy.
Seldom.
