I read about love in therapy and some therapists openly say they "love" their clients and that there has to be "love" or else there is no therapy. I strongly believe in that as the love isn´t the same kind of love as for a child or a partner but a special love that is "therapeutic love". It´s not acted upon but is still there through the bond, through an occasional hug and kind words.

The attraction I think for me has to do with knowing she has several sides I won´t see, like her being intimate with her husband or when she cries over something. Instinctively I would want to be there for her (not in a sexual way) like getting her a warm sweater when it´s cold outside or bring her some pain killers when she has a headache.


I think feeling protective of her is part of the attraction, perhaps someone else has felt this way.
