Hi everyone,

This is my first post here and the main reason why I registered to MSF.
Less than an year ago I started going to therapy for the first time; the T (a man, I'm a woman) helped me a lot going through a stressful period and also deeper anxiety issues; I can say, that after an year I can really see the benefits.
Lately I noticed that maybe I feel a sort of attraction (maybe more admiration? Transference?) to my T, but I thought that's because he's been very helpful to me (more than a sexual attraction). Anyway, sometimes I'm not feeling 100% comfortable with him because of that. I've tried to get along with it anyway.
Last week it happened that he asked me why, in the last sessions, I was talking more about my friends, family and so on instead than talking about myself.
I said that sometimes I feel embarrassed when I don't have a specif top to talk about, and I stressed out that it happens also with friends etc...
He asked me if I was feeling embarrassed in that right moment, I said "yes"; then he changed face completely, smiled and told me: "You know, you have a very beautiful smile when you are embarrassed".
I said "Thank you", I was even more uncomfortable (of course!) and then somehow we went on with the main topic of the therapy.
But when I left I felt really strange and I'm thinking about it ever since. I don't know if his reaction was a sort of "Counter-transference", but I know that I feel very uncomfortable now and I'm not sure if I want to go on with him. On one side I think I could talk with him about it and see what happens; on the other hand, I think what he's done went over the boundaries and I feel like changing therapist.
What do you think? What would be you suggestion? Did something like this happened to you (patient or therapist?)
Best,
