Hi--
I don't whether you are male or female, but is this declared love between two of you romantic? Is her love for you a professional type of caring, or is it more?
She's trying to re-establish the boundaries of the therapeutic relationship, which I know is incredibly painful. Check the archives about transference. Last month there was quite a bit of discussion about it, and I found it to be VERY helpful for me in understanding why these intense feelings happen toward my therapist.
