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
