I too would jump at the chance to have a relationship with my T if they allowed it even though I KNOW full well it would be a terrible decision with an inevitable negative outcome. That is the nature of transference/love. The feelings can be so powerful that logic and reasoning don’t matter. The client is in such a vunerable position and the power dynamic is so uneven which is one of the reasons why it’s unethical. Therapists are in a position of huge responsibility. They know the risks and the onus is completely on them to make sure that nothing does happen regardless of their actual feelings.
