Should I tell my therapist I'm in love with her?

  • Lots of people develope feelings for a therapist, because of the intimate and deep nature of the work on the client's personal issues. She probably doesn't have any feelings for you, if she did she would be morally obligated to refer you to someone else, because any attraction to you would be a conflict of interest, and it would be unethical for her to continue counseling you if she were actually attracted to you.

    • Almost all women like me in a sexual way. No fake modesty.
      Also, when I told her I want to stop the therapy she seemed baffled and desperate to keep me. Isn't there a chance she has developed feelings and wants to keep on seeing me? Think about it. Why stop seeing me when she can just avoid the problem by not acting on her feelings. Plus she gets paid lol. She would never do that.

      • If she is actually attracted to you she would have an ethical responsibility to refer you to someone else.

        • True that, but again as long as she doesn't say something along the lines of " I want to fuck you " or " I like you " she's fine. It's not like anyone can read her mind and prove she's into me.

          • Your story is very believable. Of course she would look forward to pleasant clients. Some how you have to turn the tables so that you are giving her therapy over a beer at the local tavern. Because of ethical standards, she may have to declare you are cured and wait a bit of time, before you employ your sexual knowledge to calm her desires.

      • Instead of assuming, why not just tell her? This way, she can clarify and refer you to a male therapist.
