I have been seeing an older therapist for quite some time now. Over the period of our time together i feel she has a crush on me. I understand their is a thing called transference, which is why even when i like her i have never told her. I never want to look a fool if all of this is just in my head, however i have reasons for my suspicions.
Many of the things she has said confuse me. She has called me good looking multiple times. She has sent me kisses in texts and told me a lot about her personal life. All of which i am confused about. I never knew therapists were meant to tell you so much about themselves and to be flirty with me. She has sent me winky faces and x's within texts and called me good looking many times face to face. She gave me presents such as chocolate for christmas, easter, birthdays ect. She also places her hand on my back or shoulder when im about to leave the session before i open the office door. I am not very used to human interaction so i am also unsure on what many of this means. I am also unsure if any of this is professional.
Is this normal for a therapist?
