It's normal to have these feelings. You have built a special relationship with someone who genuinely cares about your well being. Your feelings are NEVER wrong. Of course you want to feel nurtured and cared for (hugged and sat next to) when you open up the most vulnerable part of yourself. One can feel like they are "in love" with their therapist, but I think it's more appropriate to say you "love" them, instead of you are "in love" with them.

Please do not listen to ignorant persons who know nothing about the therapy process. There is nothing wrong with having feelings of love towards your therapist. It's normal and expected. It is NOT inappropriate. I believe therapists can love their clients in a healthy way, it's human nature! Talking about it, if he is professional, will NOT lead to termination. Again, ignore those who know nothing about the process!
