I do not understand how a therapist can disclose having 'feelings' for a client. Even if they don't act on those feelings, it seems like it would cloud the therapy. Especially a client who is experiencing transference for the therapist.

I thought Code of Ethics etc. doesn't allow for sharing intimate feelings. I'm sure a therapist can say to a client "I like you" as in a general way. But, to say he has feelings and possibly romantic feelings seems like it's going against what I thought therapists weren't supposed to do.

This is coming from a girl knee deep in transference. Maybe I want my therapist to acknowledge he has 'feelings' for me. I don't see that happening, he seems to keep to his boundaries very tightly.
