I had a very numb session!! It all started yesterday when my T e-mailed me asking me if I wanted to come in sooner then wednesday. I had e-mailed her previously and she was worried. I felt numb all through session I told her, and I also told her I'd leave regreting being numb and cry about it. Sure enough I did cry afterwards!
I'm at a weird spot in therapy, I even hinted around to day I feel an attraction with her physically. This is a scary thought is it normal? I'm still young, hormones are rageing...so I hope it is! Dustin... |

I think feeling an attraction for your T is very normal for some people! (((((((((((( Moonkin ))))))))))))

Yes it is very normal. (Not that I would know-- ha ha yeah right). It doesn't matter if you are a teenager with raging hormones or a married 26 year-old woman (again-- doesn't sound like anyone I know, lol)-- attraction to your T is normal and you are brave to begin to explore the subject w/ her.

From what I understand about the therapy process, it is VERY normal and quite common to feel various feelings projected toward your therapist.
There's even a term that describes this occurrence -- it's called "transference". Therapists also have a tendency to experience feelings/reactions/triggers towards their clients -- that's called countertransference. What's NOT normal or okay, of course, is for a relationship to develop between you and your therapist...
