In the very moment I live, without guarantees what tomorrow brings. But that doesn't make me any less committed or loving towards the people close to me.
And that's fine. No need to feel hurt
I'm allowed to share my views. I don't understand or think love should be conditional. For some it is. That is ok that people have different views.

I personally struggle accepting love from humans for this very reason. I asked my t to never say he loved me even if he felt it. I lose trust in someone when they say they love me. I suddenly feel it's conditional. It scares me.

You are allowed your views like I am mine. My point of this thread though is that people....therapists and clients should be allowed to love each other without being questioned or shamed
