I hear you. I was encouraged to see the whole thing as normal, even routine. The client divulges intense feelings for a relative stranger, then some process that is never defined takes over and away you go, and it's assumed to be healthy. And yet when I looked into it more critically, I found that much of this stuff is wildly speculative.

Anyway, this is just my point of view. There are success stories, hope yours is one of them. Sounds like it is going ok so far.
