It seems to me this is an important development, or perhaps "consideration" & that it should be discussed with your therapist.
From what you wrote, it certainly sounds as though you have a most rational perspective with regard to this attraction. It's not like you're trying to position yourself to instigate a romantic incursion. So I can't imagine why a skilled therapist would transfer a client for bringing up such a natural subject in such a rational way. (I suppose anything is possible.) So, yes, I suppose there is an outside chance your T could react negatively. But, from my perspective, I imagine the risk is minimal. And the potential reward is well worth it. My best wishes to you!

First off, thanks for your reply. Yes, I agree that I have a rational understanding of my situation with my therapist. It is hard at times to deal with the mixed emotions that come up when I think about our relationship and everything considering. Honestly though, the last thing I want to do is to hurt her in any way possible. I'm aware that I am not in love, but my feelings run fairly deep for this woman, and I don't want to do anything/say anything that could jeopardize our working/current relationship or have anything said that could possibly injure my spirit. I appreciate your warm wishes! I truly hope that it will go as smooth as possible when I decide to reveal how I feel.
