I have 3 sessions left with my t. I have developed intense feelings for her. And if I could have my way, I would love to get to know her outside of the therapeutic setting. I know it's called transference, but I don't think this is. I am genuinely attracted to her. I know she has faults, but I like those faults. She doesn't remind me of anyone in my past either. I don't want to act on my feelings or tell her because I respect the boundaries and I don't want to put her in an awkward position. On the other hand, however, I don't want to be left with these feelings once therapy ends. I want closure. I want to move on. I know I can never be with her. I've tried everything short of blatantly telling her that I have feelings for her. I've prepared a whole speech, but then she just focuses on one part of it. I know that she'll interpret my feelings as transference. And they're not. I am genuinely attracted to her and I want to get to know her better. Is it even possible to work through this in three sessions?
