The Angry Therapist Podcast Falling for Your Therapist: Why It Happens & What It Means
What happens when therapy becomes personal? In this raw and honest conversation, John Kim talks with licensed therapist Rebecca Prolman about her real-life experience of falling for her therapist — and what it taught her about attachment, shame, and healing.
Together they explore the taboo topic of client-therapist attraction, transference and counter-transference, and how therapy can mirror our deepest childhood wounds.
💬 Topics include:
- Why we develop crushes on therapists (and what it really means)
- The difference between a crush and being in love
- How to talk about attraction safely in therapy
- When boundaries blur and healing turns into heartbreak
- Why honesty is the path to repair
