Love is always complicated, but rarely as complex as the love felt for a therapist. Although it’s often dismissed, buried, or even shamed, loving your therapist is deeply human, and often, a sign that therapy is working. Love has many nuances and many potential expressions (some of which can be highly problematic in a therapeutic relationship) but the felt experience of love is a positive sign that the relationship between a client and therapist has a powerful potential to bring healing.
