I hope that clarifies it some  |
Oh indeed it does. What an insightful thing to say, you got me thinking now. Gosh, spent so much of my life trying to understand love. And it totally makes sense to bring it up in session like that. I was so focused on people asking the therapist about love and me concerned that the therapist might not say it back and the person end up feeling real hurt, I did not look at it as a learning opportunity. Thanks.
