      Okay, I know this one is a little different:
      ————————————————–
      “When an inexperienced therapist falls for the husband of the unhappily married couple she is counseling, she must go to counseling of her own to conquer?her feelings and get the awful couple back together.”
      ————————————————–
      (And of course, the lead characters councilor?falls in love with her which makes it even more complicated)

      ‘Too much history’ – it is unclear. In my first Logline? I was pointed out about the unclear plot. I think that this gets in that category. You can make the log-line without mentioning about history, as it is going to be the character’s journey in the script.

      The event of losing the license will only occur if Therapist too falls in love. Assuming that it will happen, you must try to mention it in your log-line.

      For E.g., If you start your script with your main character’s voice over who is describing his fondness towards the therapist and again comparing her with his ex-wife, it will set up your premise. That’s it. But other than that the above log-line won’t get you to the resolution part.

      If your character’s story has to revolve around the therapist you must mention her qualities, like an adjective describing her (in the log-line).

      You can also describe his ex wife through an adjective.

      Try to get the main goal of the character in the log-line. Figure out the goal that sets your story’s dramatic premise. Good Luck.

      I don’t see a story hook that differentiates this from? other stories about patients who fall in love with their therapists.?The logline is about a problem in therapy,? transference, that is older than Sigmund Freud, although he was one of the first to diagnose the problem.??Therapists are warned about this situation while in training and given instructions on how to handle it.

      And furthermore, her license is in jeopardy only if she reciprocates, if she feels the same way toward him.? ?As long as it’s one-sided, she’s not in danger of losing her professional standing.

      If you’re sure about the license thing…

      “When a troubled man begins fessing his fondness for her, the therapist must convince him otherwise, or risk losing her license”

      (since she has the objective goal anyway)

      But there’s so much else she could do, “convincing him” seems illogical

      HER GOAL “to save her license”
      maybe research some more….
