Hey all. I wrote about my desire to tell my therapist that I feel love for her (not in a gay way...not that there's anything wrong with that)

Well I had taken a break from therapy back in early May. I had my first session with her again this morning. We got caught up on all the stuff I'd been processing since my mother's death in March. And toward the end of the session, I told her. I prefaced it with telling her that she'd been working with me for more than two years, and how it was the longest Id ever stuck with a therapist. I told her it was hard for me to say it, but then I just said it. I wasn't anxious, I just didn't want it to be creepy sounding or anything. She said she feels a deep connection with many of her clients and she was 'honored.' Then she told me 'I love you right back.' It was cool. I didn't attach well with my mother, so I see her as a maternal figure.

Then we started talking about transference and I asked her if she'd ever had clients who had that other type of transference (erotic) she said every so often, but she nips that in the bud quick. She's CBT, not psychodynamic. I found her reaction to the thought of erotic transference very amusing. So she will nip that isht in the bud. roooolllin. :ROTFLMAO
