Yes - but I'd never have told him. Partly because of my sense that he was already uncomfortable just knowing my feelings about him (emotional part). And I knew that it was part of my "reptilian brain" response to the intimacy of therapy. So, I tried to not worry about it. But, a pounding heart is a pounding heart! And I know I'm not the only client who has looked around at the pool thinking "Hmm, which body does my therapist have?" under those ironed shirts and ties....

I know it's likely to happen with a female T also. And I know it will bother me some to feel a s_____ response to a female. I had that response happen in college with a female professor.

If your T has already figured out there might some s____ feelings going on, enough so that she's asked, then she's pretty intuitive? hope that makes it easier, but don't feel like you have to say it to make her happy - not worth feeling like your head might explode!
