I was able to tell her. I skirted around the sexual stuff a little bit but she completely got it. Telling her was actually a beautiful experience.

I feel that something has settled inside me a little bit now I've managed to tell her how deep and overwhelming my feelings for her are, and had them accepted and understood. I'm sure we will address them more over time and in different ways, but I got out what I've needed to say for a while.

I wish this was the case for everyone who is struggling with difficult (not necessarily sexual or romantic) feelings for a therapist.
