Well I think the question really is are YOU OK with the feelings your T has expressed? Personally when I first started...I definitely WOULD NOT have been OK if my T expressed any type of feelings for me. Now that I've dealt with some of my hang-up, have a little bit better understanding of myself and different dimentions of "love" I think I could probably ...handle it but I'm not sure I would be OK with it.

If my T expressed feelings for me...she would need to be very explicit about those feelings and I would probably need some follow-up dialog after I had a chance to think about what she expressed. Personally my T has not gone down this road with me. But I have had another person, who I am in a professional relationship with tell me that they loved me. It did shock me, but when I sat and thought about it...I was really OK with it, it was a healthy kind of love that she expressed. In this case it was a very deep, heartfelt expression but a universal connectedness kind of love...Not a sexual, I love you, I want to be in a intimate relationship with you statement.

Crystalrose....If your T expression is confusing you or not making you feel good deep inside then I would say NO its not OK. If when you check in with yourself and you feel good inside, then it might me OK.
