I didn't mean to suggest that you were saying that. I was just emphasizing that, to me, the therapeutic relationship is a valid relationship in its own right. Different from any other possible relationship.
If you're looking for love or reciprocal desire from your therapist, then it would be very healthy to turn those feelings towards someone else. I just have a hard time even understanding those feelings. :) Not love of course, I love my husband and son dearly. But the sort of feelings you're talking about.
