In reply to have you ever told your T 'i love you'?, posted by sunnydays on February 25, 2007, at 21:20:52
If someone loved you, wouldn't you want to know? It is such a nice thing to hear, especially when it comes from a deep, heartfelt place, without expectations.
And I think it is scary as hell to love your therapist because of the power it implies and the weird "rules" of the relationship. But what you feel is real, and if you want to say it, I think you should. I'm sure he'll accept it with the gentle grace he has always displayed with you.
I know it is hard to not want him to love you too -- but being allowed to love someone purely and deeply is very healing and special. So this is the gift he can give you, along with his genuine caring.
Good luck with this.
