I don't know if you do or not. Only you can really say. I think trying to work it out with your therapist might be helpful, though. They are trained in working with clients who express many different feelings, including love.

That hasn't been my experience. I've been seeing my therapist for a few years but my feelings are pretty much the same now as in the first year. I think we're more used to each other now and more comfortable and relaxed, though, but I don't think our feelings are magnified. Is that how you have experienced your feelings in therapy? Interesting! There are many different ways that people experience therapy.

I wonder why you want to point that out? Was that a hard realization for you in your therapy? Not everyone goes through that, but thanks for sharing your own experience.
