My former T told me she loves me on our last appointment. I had been in therapy with her for 10 years at that point and had told her several times that I love her. It's the only time she said it and I do believe she means it/meant it. It didn't mess me up. It just made me feel cared about as a human being. As much as I wanted to hear it earlier in our work together, that might have messed me up. It's one thing for them to care, but to love, I think that gets tricky. At least in my own messed up world.
