> Question:- If a counselor's first reaction is to terminate a client when he/she learns of their transference towards them; would you say they ran in fear of their own love for that client?
> Or is termination the normal for a client who has crossed borders?

It is not crossing boundaries to love your therapist, nor to tell them that you love them. It is only crossing boundaries if you DO something about it (Pitch a tent in their front yard. Tell their wife that they will be divorcing her for you. Physically attack him in his office. etc.)
A therapist should help you understand your feelings of love - not terminate you.

You don't need to order the video. It doesn't add a lot to the description. But read the description and you'll find a lot of answers.
