I saw my T today and when I answered a question she said something along the lines of "That's what I love about you" or "that's something I love about you". It was quick and cheerful comment and I know ethically T's aren't really supposed to love their clients but I keep thinking about it.
What do you think this means? I want my T to love me but I know that that can't happen and that feeling is part of my abandonment issues and problems with my family. A lot of the time the word "love" is thrown around in common phrases and I'm sure this is what she meant by it.

Can Ts ethically have those feelings for clients?
