Still, I maintain that if a service provider (who deals with emotional topics) is uncomfortable with certain topics then the problem of discomfort is one of the provider and not of the person who raises the topic.
Which is all well and good but any client who raises this topic needs to be prepared that the answer might not be yes. Some patients have a lot of trauma, attachment issues, abandonment issues etc. It’s a really delicate subject that can potentially hurt a client if they don’t get the answer they want. My discomfort would solely be around those things and not the concept of love itself. Again I have merely presented two perspectives for the OP to consider.
