Yes, I love him. I have no doubt. You will know it when you feel it, or allow yourself to feel it. It is my overriding feeling for him and does not get lost in excitement or anger or sharing pain. I trust him with my life. I see my love reflected in his eyes, and I love how that means he must see my love too. I have never said to him, "I love you," but if he asked if I loved him, I would say yes without hesitation. For me, it is not just attachment or transference. And no, I am not jealous of his other clients or his girlfriend. In fact, I feel a great degree of kinship with his other clients, and I think this is one facet of my love for him.
