Mmmm....yeah, I think they do.

I was struggling with my feelings so much one night that I finally put my thoughts in an email. She printed out a copy and brought it to our next session. It contained some physical stuff, but mostly it was about how perfect I thought she was. It did not refer to her in the email. I asked her to read it aloud and she said she was uncomfortable doing so, as it was a bit explicit. I must have looked tortured, because than she asked if she was the 'she' in the email. I nodded, then started to cry. We talked about it, and we have several times...I finally realized it was about me wanting to take care of her, not anything physical. She said that was my mothering instinct kicking in. Funny, being that the only thing I am a mother to is 2 horses and 4 cats.
