It is quite common for the feelings a patient has towards his female doctor (and female patients to male Ts)to be categorized erotically. I think it stems from not having any such relationship previously in life, and that the therapy relationship is totally different than any other. You just don't know what to do with the feelings, and they go into the "love" category, but really don't belong in a regular love bin. One needs to create a new category for the feelings within a therapy relationship, imo.

It is work, as I often say, to do good therapy. If this work also includes keeping your eyes and mind from rambling towards your feelings towards T, and back on you and your issues, so be it.

And, yes, it's normal for any healthy teenager to fight hormones in a myriad of situations, how much more so when you find someone who cares about you!
