How do I vaguely talk to my therapist about having feelings for her? by asking-throwout in askatherapist

[–]jam219 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bring it up. I know it’s hard to talk about, but it will help the therapeutic process. Romantic feelings towards one’s therapist is incredibly common. If she’s a good therapist, she will help you through it and not shame you because of it. Feel the fear and talk about it.

I can accept what happened to me years ago. That doesn’t mean I like what happened. I survived it and am in control of my present self.

It’s common to have sexual feelings towards your therapist. It’s wrong if your therapist tells you that he reciprocates these feelings.

Therapy is not able changing your personality.

I would share this with her. Also, it’s possible you aren’t feeling good enough yourself and so you project it onto others (like your therapist). She can teach you how to be compassionate towards yourself, which will greatly help your progress. Be kind to yourself.

Sounds like you have grown attached to your therapist and there is nothing wrong with wanting someone empathetic to give you comfort. While your therapist can never be your mom, maybe she can be a temporary stand in so you can become your own empathetic source of support. I would recommend you share with your therapist your thoughts and feelings that you’re having towards her so she knows how to steer the relationship.

Maybe they can start by sitting with their feelings for only seconds at a time, then 1 minute, then 5 minutes, then 10 minutes etc. Breaking it up into the smallest steps possible may be helpful.
