I'm in therapy with the same therapist for 6 years, but I worry that my therapy became unhealthy in some aspects. I'm female, he's male, 10 years older than me, if it matters.
We occasionally hug, but it's okay, let's say... Somehow he blew me a kiss at the end of the session, it was a little weird, but also acceptable.
Once he congratulated me on my birthday using a flower emoji and a smile in one of the social networks, although we do not have any contact outside the sessions. We do not text etc.
He is subscribed to my public blog and also subscribed to my instagram, despite the fact that I have a private account.
Several times he told me very personal things with the proviso that he did not tell anyone or almost anyone about it. He has shared some personal experiences, that he had a fight with his wife, for example.
He has also said that I was the best client, that he did not want to lose me, once he has said that he loved me (it was occasionally, like "I respect you and love you, but... (something I don't remember)".
He has commented on my appearance that, like, I lost weight or, on the contrary, gained weight, that I have acne (thank you, I know), that I have an attractive smile (!). Yes, there were a hell of a lot of things that should not be in professional relationships (I think).
I don't know what to do. I'm attached to him (let's be honest) and don't want to lose him, but I doubt he is helpful for now. I know, I should discuss my worries with him, but I'm too chicken to do it, because I'm afraid he'd terminate with me immediately.
Am I overthinking, or are there really some red flags?

It's a guy and you are not. Hence, to me all these things are red flags.
(Assuming you both being heterosexual)
