Oh Happy I think you have the guts!!! And I think if you read what you wrote you have the answers that he could possible give you. One is that he will be your soul mate, another is he will work through this with you, and lastly he could terminate; which I doubt to be the case.
I think you better be prepared for him to tell you he likes you but it can't go any farther than that. If he is a good therapist he isn't going to break any boundaries with a patient or put the patient in harms way.
I think most of us would like to climb inside our therapists personal life and hang out with them. I dream of doing that all the time. I imagine what mine is doing just about all hours of the day. I wish I could be her sister, or better yet, her daughter, but she's not old enough to be my mom. Now if your T. is as good as mine, he can handle you talking about your feelings and you can work through it with him.
I've been obsessed with my therapist during my course of treament. So obsessed it hurt.
I wish you the best, and I think you're doing the right thing!! You go girl! Keep an open mind to his reply and you'll be fine. Do let us know what happens!!
