I don't think therapist have any feelings for us. They might generally be concerned about our mental health, but I think that would be the end of it. How can you feel affectionate towards someone whom you keep emotionally supporting all the time? Usually you will feel affectionate towards someone only if you are on the receiving side of a relationship. Since they are the ones constantly giving support for us, we will feel very attached and affectionate towards them, but I am sure they won't be able to feel the same for us. And on top of it we are not the only ones they support. We are just one of the few patients they see everyday.
