I think it's totally normal to have all kinds of loving feelings toward therapists. They represent all sorts of things to us, and they treat us with a lot of kindness and empathy.
I am often pre-occupied with my feelings for my therapist, although they are not sexual feelings - that feels taboo. But I am definitely preoccupied with him. In a way that feels like love.
But I think that's okay as long as the boundaries are firm, and the work gets done without trying to impress him so he'll like me more.
