I know quite a bit about her in our short time together. Which is making it difficult for me not to be attracted to her. She seems to point out our commonalities often...Maybe I'm just interpreting it all wrong, but I'm feeling like maybe I should bring this up. I'm just not sure I'm ready to find someone new yet.
Agh.

Hi Ephemeral, it sounds like you have a good connection with your t, and so moving on to a different t would feel difficult for you. Maybe you should bring your thoughts and feelings up to her and see what she thinks. I think it can be a common thing to be attracted to your therapist. People post about that sometimes in the psychotherapy section of PC. My question. Do you think your attraction to her will hinder your progress in therapy? It is up to you whether you stay or find a different t.
