There's a forum here called 'Romantic Feelings For My Therapist' in the Psychotherapy Forum here at PC. You can post there about your feelings for your therapist - this is called 'Erotic Transference'. Usually it's recommended to discuss these feelings and a good therapist will help the patient deal with these feelings. Having strong feelings can end up shadowing the reason a patient's in therapy. All therapists are familiar with transference. Unfortunately there are some unethical therapists/doctors who'll take advantage of a patient and no matter how strong your feelings are, it would be unwise to act on them IRL.
