Hi crushed out, I agree with what Dinah said. I don't think what your therapist said was appropriate or fair. She is just egging you on in a situation that cannot be reciprocated. Her comments (although nice)are not going to help you resolve any feelings, only "feed the fire." I also highy recomemend "In Session" on this topic. Dinah recommended it to me, and in many ways I found it very helpful. I also have romanic feelings for my female therapist. If my T ever responded like that, I'd be worked into a frenzy and the end result would be devastating (whether she reciprocated or not). If she does reciprocate, chances are the relationship could never work in the real world, and if she doesn't reciprocate, but leads you on like that, your going to feel so confused and frustrated and deeply depressed when you have to accept that nothing can happen.
