Attachment is one thing. My therapist knows I'm attached to her. She's known since I started going to her group 2 years ago. She tells me she's just as attached to me as I am to her. But this "love" thing that I feel towards her...it's more frustrating than my attachment. The reply I got after I sent her the email was (and these are her exact words) "We have to deal with and figure out a way for you to be able to talk in session - regardless of what the issue is". She did say a bit more, but that sentence pretty much sums it up. She didn't mention anything about love or transference in her email. Part of me is glad she didn't, but another part (probably the BPD part?) is wondering why she didn't say anything.
I should also make it known that I do sometimes have a problem talking and saying what's going on/what I'm feeling/what I'm thinking. Her comment didn't come out of nowhere.
