My therapist would say: "What do you think it means?"

But it seems like the transference. Like many people who have close connections with their therapist, you get these feelings of closeness and intimacy like nothing else...because you tell the therapist everything and you get to feeling like they are "lovers", in a way.

Depending on your therapist, they may have no difficulty with you bringing it up, discussing your sexual transference feelings.

I've had them very strong, with my therapist. Of course, my sexual abuse at a young age has made me, I think, sexualize most relationships. I wanted to try to normalize my sexual feelings for my therapist. It took forever, but I was able to discuss them, at least first through writing and having her read it and then verbally. But I still have a fair amount of difficulty discussing my sexual feelings for my therapist openly.

With all that said...I don't recall having any sexual dreams about my therapist (though i'm not sure). I do dream all the time and they are usually very vivid and most of the time I remember my dreams.

Perna...when I've been very troubled, freaking out, my therapist has let me lay my head in her lap for real and she strokes my hair.
