Welcome!! I have struggled with a T crush for so long. An ethical T will refrain from romantic/sexual interactions with patients, but a wise T is self aware enough to know that it only human to have feelings in such an intimate setting. Having feelings is normal, acting on them in therapy is unethical for a therapist. Your T may be struggling to control natural emotions and automatic responses. It is T's responsibility to keep it in check and manage his/her reactions. Denying these feelings can be confusing for the patient who can SEE the awkward glances, blushing etc. A good T will not shy away from the topic.
Is your T young or inexperienced? Being supervised?
Just know that T has to keep therapy safe--it is not your responsibility, it is his.
