Ex-T basically said it to me after I said it to her--talking about the weirdness of the therapeutic relationship and how I understood she couldn't reciprocate, and she was like, "Not that I don't love you, too." MC--no, and seemed weird the few times I told him I loved him (particularly this last time in December--led to rupture). I suspect it's a boundary for him with clients in general. Current T--no, though it would be kind of weird if he had because it hasn't even been 6 months (I'm not even to the love stage yet!). He seems the type to have it as a boundary that he wouldn't say that to his clients, as he has fairly strong boundaries in general (and he doesn't hug). No way am I asking him about it though.
