How would you feel is someone would be obsessed with you like you are obsessed with.
He/she may stalk you, text you very often, tell you about his/her feelings, may want to die because of feeling unloved by you, may cry because you have partner and maybe children, may be jealous that you have other friends too. He may even do self injury or suicide attempts and manipulate with you.

This is how I see Ts clients also me sometimes but those things happen also in real life.
I had moments when there are guy who is in love with me but Im not and its normal but... I had two friends who were higly obsessed with me and it was hell. They downloaded all pictures of me, texted me everyday, prayed for touches and kisses, did self injury and told me they will die without ne, became mad at me sometimes, one of them took photos how he cut himself because of me. I felt disgusted and so sorry for them, I felt like they are dogs or maniacs, I hoped they will get out of this miserable obsessions, sometimes I was scaRed, sometimes mad, sometimes just felt sorry.

I can imagine how T would feel. Obsession is sickness and people should be healed.

This is more my thoughts after conversation with someone who is obsessed with me. It makes me see those things from different point of view.

I dont say that you all are obsessed or like that, no. I hope you are not.
Has anyone had something similar and do you see similarity with people obsessions in therapy?
Can you fall in love with person who is patient of
Psychiatry?

P.S.I didnt want to post this in romantic forum, sorry

I think you make a good point. It probably depends on the degree of obsession, but if someone stalked me and said they wanted to die because I didn't love them I would feel scared, annoyed, turned off! This happened to me once in my life. A (crazy) guy followed me around a bit. At first he seemed harmless, then he told me one day he wanted to die "with me" to be together forever. It was the last time I ever saw him, and sense then I've been terrified of him. I was a teen then, and even now as an adult if I saw him I would run and hide. When you think of the qualities that are a turn on for most people, desperation and crazy stalker vibes are not high on the list. I think most of what I'm attracted to in T is that he seems stable and mentally healthy, that he appears to be happy without me, etc.

We are not the professionals that are providing a service they are paying for nor are we romantically involved or socially inolved to begain with. We can push those obsessive people away and are not responsible for them. Therapists have a responsibility to treat those types of actions and where they are stemming from. So it is different. We see it as a turn off, be scared or annoyed. They probally break it down differently. Obviously some therapist send the client to someone else more experienced to handle those behaviors but some understand them.
