Attracted to Therapist - Bring it up to him?

Posted by pinkeye on December 9, 2002, at 12:53:50

Hi,
I have been very attracted to my therapist. I am married and he is married too.. and don't want to continue this fantasy in my mind for long. Should I bring it up to him in therapy? Or better keep it to myself? If I bring it up to him will he get angry? Are all psychiatrist capable of dealing with these issues?
Thanks
pinkeye.

Hello Pinkeye..

My advice is to tell him..they have this problem often because of the intimacy..he shouldn't get angry if he does then he is not a very good therapist.
He will find a way of dealing with the problem and avert your fantasies and concentrate the energy into a more healthy direction.
Having these thoughts about him means that you are comfortable with his presence.
