((Sharon)): Your feelings are not immature; they are normal; when we don't get what we need as children, it comes out somewhere else, and who better to have for maternal nurturance, than a loving, kind therapist!?
I had a cruel, abusive mother, and there is a woman I love dearly, and wish had been my mother. I never knew my father, but my t is not a father figure to me.
Therapists are trained to know that clients can have powerful feelings for them. She won't be surprised, but I am willing to bet if you let her know what is going on on your inside, she will be wonderful and understanding. You have nothing to lose (I know you have the fear of rejection, but your feelings are real).
Hugs, Sassy
There is nothing wrong with needs or feelings. They are real, and should be recognized and honored.
