It's really easy to quote sentences which contain endearments and yet hang without context. Consequently, other posters might react with concerns about boundary issues. It is not weird for therapists from humanistic modalities to express care, love, or connection with clients. My therapist has expressed deep emotion for me, which makes me feel uncomfortable but is not necessarily unprofessional of her.

The important aspect is that you feel uncomfortable with what she has said. For you, it is weird. It sounds like it is weird for you to hear that someone cares about you. I would consider this to be my work.

Of course, all this is assuming you have no other red flags about her practice. I suppose all I mean is that expressions of love or near-love are not necessarily or inherently unethical or strange.
Thanks for this!
