I once told my T. I loved her. She asked why it was so hard to say. I said I really didn't know. She said maybe it's the first time you had the emotion behind the words. I realized I always told my mom I loved her but I'm not sure I ever felt it. I had closed my heart off from her for years.
Did your T say she loved you back?

I say "I love you" to my mother but there is no emotion of feeling when I say it. I say it because I feel like I have to. Now when ever I say it to someone I care about I get attached.
