No official shrink school (B.A. in Psychology) here. Of course I know the answer...but I still want to ask. I just want to see what she has to say. I don't really want my T to BE in love with me; but I do want her to love me, which she says she does. She's a mother figure to me.
I'm actually considering going to shrink school once I'm done with my own therapy work. T said she'd help me in any way she could, but to pray and think hard about it. She's still paying off student loans five years later, she has to buy her own insurance, and she only makes about $2K a year more than me at the B.A. level. My schooling's paid for, my company provides my insurance, and as I gain skills and my company grows, my salary could rival or surpass hers. She said she feels one has to be "called" to do the work. She thinks I can do it, but she knows I am good at what I do now also.
