Hello SoAn, I have to agree with your friends-I do not think this will be therapeutic for you. In fact, I think the opposite is true. I found myself in the same scenario you described. The therapist I was seeing told me that he had sexual and loving feelings for me, that if not for the fact that we were in therapy, he could see us in a relationship. I was in therapy due to struggles with PTSD, including depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation. When the discussion of our feelings became a topic, it was one of the most discussed subjects. His inability to deal with his described feelings for me became yet another problem for me to deal with. I won't go into all the details of what transpired but I will say that I agree with what BudFox said, in the above comment. Therapy is difficult enough without having romantic feelings a part of the mix as well.

I wish you all the best. Sending you hugs.
