Actually I was asking the question more out of theoritical interest than personal interest. I have moved past my obsession a while back, and though the feelings sometimes come once in a while, mostly they don't trouble me.
I think therapists can only half help the feelings. Just bcos we are stuck with the feelings doesn't mean they are not good therapists. But perhaps both your T and my T could have done a better job in guiding us out of the feelings or terminating more gracefully.
I don't think my therapist ever showed me he loved me. If anything, he showed some understanding - but definitely no love. In fact, he went out of the way to make it clear to me that he is very indifferent to me. He would hardly respond to my emails. And that also perhaps he would write a short email once in 2 - 3 months.
