I doubt she would be spreading out the sessions merely because she sees some attraction. I'm sure she has dealt with this issue with men patients, too. Not too many people see their therapists every week unless they are rather in a crisis state or in a shaky situation. I would think her suggesting it is likely a good sign---she is thinking you are doing better....

Thanks Payne,
I'm glad someone actually responded. I know I just need to tell her. I never trust anyone and I finally trust someone and I start to have romantic feelings, so NOT fair. Now I risk all the progress I've made because I have a completely stupid crush.
To be fair she told me two sessions ago that it appears that I'm doing better and I could spread this out to every 2 weeks. I told her no I want to stick to once a week. There was still so much I had to get off my chest and I was still not expressing yet.
So finally yesterday after our meeting
I said I think I want to start spreading these meetings out. She said yeah I told you I thought you were doing better. I then said, Ill come next week and then I can go every other week. I can definately tell she knows there is something going on between us.
The question I do have is "For everyone that has to see a therapist, how is there not transference for everybody? Transference should be at the forefront of any mental health career. Its real and it happens a ton!
