In reply to Yes, I also am in love with my therapist, posted by malepatient on January 12, 2010, at 21:16:37
I think it's great that you trusted her enough to tell her. And it sounds as if this trust was well placed.
If your therapist handled it well, then I think as long as you are doing what you are doing, your therapy should be able to continue without any significant change of tone. You're talking about it, rather than acting on it, and you're being respectful of the boundaries. Because of the nature of therapy, I think feelings of one sort or another often arise. That level of connection and that level of intimacy and self disclosure doesn't usually happen outside of a personal and intimate relationship. It's bound to be confusing.
