i don't fully agree with that quote. i think times have changed and now the relationships we have with our therapists allow better for healing. The fact that they CAN relate and understand makes them more able to understand us, and in turn help us heal. I think the love many of us feel for our T's is very real and very much part of our healing processes. It is actually one of the reasons we are in therapy in the first place! Portraying this love onto the therapist gives them the ability to see it first hand and help us work through our feelings which generally come up in other relationships. It's normal, and i don't think we are "encouraging" any unhealthy behaviors. We just can relate with the affection the poster feels for their T. I don't think not posting comments like "your T is so great" would do anything for the feelings the poster has. Telling them their feelings are wrong or unhealthy would do nothing for them but hurt them, the only person who is capable of relaying that message is their therapist. we are only here to support whatever feelings they have at the time.
