God, he's good.
Thanks for sharing the story.
Even if it feels a bit bittersweet (given the various not so good things I've experienced lately).
I'm relatively open about my love for my therapist. Except that I always preface it by clarifying what sort of love I mean. He told me yesterday that I didn't need to do that. That after all this time I could say that and he understood what I meant.
It's mellowed out though, over the years. Lost it's intensity and become more comfy. I think that has to do with my accepting it and not fighting it (because fighting anything gives it power). And of course him accepting it.
I like it this way. It feels more like an old pair of shoes that you've worn so that they fit your feet so perfectly that you can see the toe shapes on the outside. If you like warm and comfy love without the intensity, then I wish that for you someday. If you like more intensity, then I'll withdraw the wish. :)
