I think it's very important to remember that sexual feelings in therapy are likely representative of a need and can be symbolic. Having these types of feelings may mean intense desires for closeness or nurturing and might in fact have nothing to do with anything sexual. Sometimes deeper feelings manifest themselves in ways that we are familiar with and accustomed to expressing. Rather than punishing yourself by taking these feelings literally, be gentle with yourself while identifying exactly what the feelings are trying to tell you. No feelings are ever wrong, Rainbow. They just are. They are informative. Learning truths about yourself can only be healing, don't you think?
