Wow, I'd been off the forum for a while and showed up to see that subforum. I was really surprised by it! I'd agree with everyone that you can't actually separate romantic feelings for a therapist from other parts of therapy. They're all intertwined. Basically, you've created a Psychotherapy forum that also has a Psychotherapy sub-forum. Is and always will be confusing. Not to mention I don't think it's helpful to segregate romantic feelings like they're taboo or something. I'd go so far as to say I think that's actively hurtful, adds a shame element to the process. So I dislike having an extra forum like that.
But I do understand that the idea was to direct people here from another thread. Why not add a description? Or a sign or welcoming message above that forum? Or a link to that forum from the blog, with a big invite?
I think Sunrise expressed it best in her questions.
Thanks,
Sidony
