I'm still don't know what to do! So many valid points. But I'm still determined to ask her. I'm just don't know how. I have about 5 hours to figure it out! That's when I'll email her. Part of me wants to go the direct route. Don't be vague or beat around the bush. Just be open and honest. But the other part of me wants to give her a warning that I have a personal question, and ask her if I can ask it. If she says yes, then she opened the "bag of worms"; not me. But that seems manipulative. And I could just ask her generally about love in a therapeutic relationship, but that's only half my curiosity, so I feel like I'd be lying by omission.

But no matter what, I will bring this up somehow. I'm stubborn and have it set in my mind.

I have been thinking more about how I would feel if she said she doesn't love me or if she doesn't talk about her feelings with her clients. I think if she says it right, it could be okay. She's laid down boundaries I didn't like before, and we're still good.
