I started out with a puppy love crush on my current therapist. He was encouraging me before that to express any feelings toward him so we could talk them through. At first he was very curious about the extent of the feelings. They were so bound up with innocence that they really didn't include sexual fantasies. Later on as we talked more they developed, but they were not consistent and not a central part of what happened between us. Finally, after he made a slip and called me "babe" instead of my name, I confronted him. We then relaxed because it was more true that a certain kind of intimacy was developing where we both felt fond and caring toward each other, but my history eroticizes such relationships. I worked this out and now don't have those feelings. There was no let down or no hassle. It just turned out to be deeper than the "crush" so I'm glad I was able to go through that and move on to other things.
Thanks for this!
