It is something that I flagged in my first month of therapy....2 years ago. That I wanted to be able to know the difference between love and something else. I couldn't clarify what I meant by "something else" to my therapist back then.....I barely knew him!

We still need to get to this topic..... but it is very scary for me. What is love? How the heck do I know, not having been shown it...

And as for the love in therapy...I think it exists. I would think maybe a deep sense of care, compassion, some affection for(as in towards personality) and a sense of responsibility??

I agree that her statement is not good...feels too black and white to me. (My therapist would be so proud of me saying that! lol)
