i am seeing a new therapist and she is amazing. I keep thinking about her and wanting to go back, and it feels like a crush. I dont think unrealistic thoughts about being with her in a relationship, i just miss her and want to be with her. the whole time im in her office i feel high. Is this normal?

I'm guessing it's pretty normal.

I love my ex psychologist - not in a gay way and I told her and she said so many people have these feelings for their therapist

I miss her - she's on leave.

i used to get crushes on my therapists.
for a long time i only chose middle aged men for therapists so i had some eye candy but then i learned thats not a good idea.

It's called transferance and it's incredibly normal. In fact, some schools of thought believe you can't begin healing at all until transferance occures. I don't know if that's true (probably isn't.)

It can be both good and bad. Good because you'll feel more open with that therapist. Bad if you do feel romantically attached but of course that isn't reciprocated, so it's just like any other situation where that happens. So, just be cautious with it.
