Hi Crushed,
I've been seeing my therapist for a little under two years and I stopped having these intense feelings for her after 18 months or so. I see her once a week. We didn't talk all that directly about attraction--it came up in the dreams I wrote down, in me trying to quit (I couldn't, I was too attached,) etc. I talked about it by saying that a male therapist might be easier and less complicated and she knew what I meant (she disagreed, by the way, said I'd have issues with a male therapist too and that her being female might actually make the therapy richer for me.) But we discussed it indirectly but, very directly too in a sense if you get the picture.
>Can I ask how long it took you to get to that point with your T? For how long/how often have been seeing your T?Three times/week is quite intense. May I ask why you're in therapy? I started because I became very depressed--waves of depression triggered by re-connecting with a woman from the past whom I'd been in love with for many years.
> We just started seeing each other 3 times a week. Up from two. I really want to work this stuff out, but I'm so slow.Rigby
