I want to clarify and elaborate on my response. Therapy itself is seductive to me - I am drawn in by the connection, the feeling that this other human being is actually understanding me and wants to be with me in this intense process of self-discovery and healing. I am also attracted to my therapist, which probably motivates me to some extent, but in no way is my *therapist* seductive to me... that would scare the crap out of me and I would run for the hills if that were the case! Therapy works for me because my therapist is completely safe and non-seductive. I am actually sure that he would never do anything to compromise our therapeutic relationship.

So it's really different (and better) for me that it's the therapy process, not the therapist, that's seductive to me. Even when it's painful, something always brings me back and keeps me wanting to show up and do the work.
