I'm late to this thread though I have been reading. I guess I just want to add that it seems perfectly reasonable to feel how you are feeling: my therapist likes to say, "who wouldn't want to feel special?" And you know what? He does say he cares about me, that he worries and that what I feel for him is OK and special. And he says he is flattered and touched. And he does all this in a way that doesn't send me any mixed messages. I think I heard it described once (Lott?) as a hot house flower -- therapy love can survive only in the consulting room, but with in this setting it is a very beautiful thing indeed.
I like thinking about it that way. I'm glad you are feeling better.
What does your husband think about your therapist coming to the concert? I'm not sure mine would like it.
