Love or not to Love?, that is the question.

I've been seeing a therapist for at least 2 years now and that time, she has helped me with my emotional feelings and vice versa. She has also made me feel something that I've never felt before and I never thought it would never happen to me either. She taught me to Love someone. To sum it up, I'm in Love with her. She's smart, sophisticated, intelligent, beautiful and everytime I had a session every other week to 2 weeks, I never told her because I was afraid, ashamed, embarrassed and I didn't know how to tell her. In the therapy industry, they call it transference but I refuse to believe that because my feelings for this woman are real. I don't cry for her, I think about her every so often and wander what she's up to. We've shared some things through therapy that were not part of the session. Now, my therapy sessions are coming to an end and all I can say, when this happens, I'm going to really miss her. She says, that she isn't going anywhere and is always available whenever I need to talk again. Maybe I need to tell her the Truth because I can't hold on to these feelings forever.

You can go ahead and tell her about how you feel, but it will still be a therapy session not a romantic moment. No matter how sincere your feelings are, this should not be seen as a potential romance, transference or not. It's been good for you because you were able to trust her and she apparently had some insight into your problems. You were fortunate to find her, so do yourself a favor and let it go; not all romances are meant to come to life. This one has given you a lot of good insight and strength, so accept that and decide to mentally move on from this fixation. It's time to accept reality.

This happens a lot.

You’ve received care and understanding from someone of the opposite sex. If your therapist was a man and helped you the same way, would you be in love with him?

No I wouldn't.
