Do you feel any relief in telling?
My therapist tells me not only is it a good thing to feel attached to him but it is absolutely essential for healing. I still was mortified the first time we ever talked about how strong my feelings were for him, even though they are COMPLETELY maternal.
I agree with what everyone else said about it being his job to hold the boundaries and not yours. I also am the kind of client who wants to do everything right, like help him hold those boundaries! He may have been asking that question to try to get you to look at your own prohibitions.
I know it must have been hard to do this. You were very brave!
