I think this is fairly common projection. In t, the client isn't suppose to know much about the therapist for this reason. Perhaps, this so called falling in love feeling is related to sharing one's personal feelings, thought, and intimate details of one's life. It's a false intimacy created in one's own mind.
I remember working for a doctor. He had almost 25 women (patients) that thought they were in love with him too. They would take off their clothes and send naked pictures of their selves to him. They would bring him gifts, etc. They would drive by his home. One went up to his house with nothing on, but a robe. He thought it was so ridiculous. He would say,
"They say they are in love with me and they don't know a damn thing about me."Don't do this to yourself. Don't go into this self created fantasy anymore. It's a set up for hurt.
