I have been in therapy for quite a few years now, and never really understood why people "fall in love" with their therapists. I am female, but I have always preferred male therapists (not really sure why, but think it has something to do with my personality type).
I have certainly felt strong attachments to one or two therapists over the years, but only because of the level of comfort and length of time we have spent with each other.
Anyway, your reponse to Sezzie made so much sense!
Thanks for responding - now I don't have to sit and ponder "why" for hours and hours; or possibly days, years...
