A few months ago, I posted about how I told my therapist about my "romantic" feelings toward her, and also about my envy of her daughter. She told me that she found me beautiful but she also made it clear that her job was to enforce certain boundaries. I never confronted her about why she told me she found me beautiful, and we haven't really discussed the issue (of my transference) much since.
But recently, as I was telling her about the sexuality present in all my relationships with people (outside of therapy), she remarked that we should probably talk more about the "sexuality between us." It was the end of the session so we didn't really discuss it then and I haven't dared to bring it up since.
I just wonder what she means by that. It seems like some kind of admission that on one level she's attracted to me, and that's really exciting, but I'm scared to discuss it with her because I don't want to be disappointed or hurt. I'm not sure why I'm writing about this. I just wondered if any of you had any feedback.
I should point out that I feel extremely confident in her abilities as a therapist and that she would never do anything unethical.
