Hello. I think that most T's care very much for their clients, but, as the others have said, they have to keep their boundaries intact and keep themselves safe, otherwise no therapy would be done and no healing could take place. A therapist's "love" is unselfish in the main, as his greatest care is for our wellbeing and our future, and to this purpose he sets himself aside in order to concentrate on our issues. I think most of us secretly wish to be the therapist's most special or favourite client, but to a good therapist we are all special in our uniqueness and the qualities we bring to the relationship.
