"Fall in Love" with her?

What kind of BS is this?

Falling in love with someone who you can only know on a professional level?

I think this therapist is going to do you more damage than good.

Maybe you should read the many posts about people who get overly attached to their therapists only to be dumped in an instant. They're all devastated.

I honestly think this whole "substitution for what's missing in your life" stuff is a bunch of crap. Why encourage FAKE relationships when you can be going out there and having REAL relationships?

I think its FAR more advantageous to have a client learn to accept the fact that a parent, etc did not love them in the way they needed to be loved. "Love" from a therapist will NEVER come within a million miles of being comparable to parental love. Ever. Its ludicrous to even suggest the notion.
