"maybe he is allowing the feelings knowing tht in time they will change?"
I think my therapist really believes that the relationship piece is the most powerful healing factor of the therapy and he is not looking for my attachment to him to diminish. I think he would say that he wishes it wasn't so hard for me to have all these feelings but that wanting them to go away is my wish, not his. He has this whole speech about how the world would be a nicer place if humans would value interdependence instead of so much independence. "Everyone needs someone to listen and care," he says.
I think my feelings for him have evolved and changed, similiar to yours. But I guess I'll always feel a very deep love for him, with all its meanings and wishes. Sometimes I wonder how his view of me has changed, if it has. I'd like to read his session notes, but then again, maybe I wouldn't.
