Hello. I am new to this website... I have had a similar situation, though the therapist was not mine. He worked briefly with a family member. I am female,he,male. I only met with him 2 times alone (concerning treatment of family member).After, 2nd meeting, I "fell" for him, it has now been 5 months. I can not quit thinking of him! I was honest over the phone about this with him, he was nice, but never did anything unprofessional. I can't believe that I have been feeling this strongly for 5 months, and it has
not lessened at all.
Though I am no longer in therapy, I did mention this to my therapist, several times, and he seemed to avoid getting into the "meat" of the incident. I know that he had been involved, regretably, with his therapist, (many,many years ago) and it seemed like something he would rather not discuss. Other than to say "don't become involved, you will regret it!", that was all that he would say.
I am still in a quandry over this. Part of me wonders if I should set up a meeting with the crush, and confront this in person, rather than on telephone,as in past(that was within the beginning of the crush). Maybe ? that would knock some rational thinking into my head...Also, I have very strong conflicting feelings: I love to think about him, and... I also am angry, and don't want to think about him anymore!
What to do, what to do.
