In reply to Attracted to Therapist - should I bring it up?, posted by pinkeye on December 6, 2002, at 19:50:08
In psychotherapy between a heterosexual woman and a male therapist, I would be concerned if there WASN'T a sexual attraction! Having it, and working through it, is a part of the growth and deepening of the personality which should occur in psychotherapy. You have to do something very scary- talk about it fully! At the end, the attraction resolves, or at least tones down a lot, but you are left with a much richer sense of your own sexuality- even if that was not a problem area originally.
