I assume you are asking me this... so I'll say, yes, because without much details, my T is very self disclosing, and let's just say, in the year and a half I've known him, I can tell you more personal things about him and his life/family/health etc than I could about my best friend of 6 years.

I have not just seen his "kind" sides either. I've seen him angry, depressed etc... so yes my feelings are real. They don't seem like "just therapy" to me.... but love the idea of him? No... he's very flawed and I'm well aware of that. I love the man I've gotten to know...
