I know exactly where you are at. Been there, and currently am working hard to resolve a similar issue. What has helped me to broach the subject with my doc was to write down the thoughts I've been having. If I can, I read it aloud to him. If not, he reads it himself. That gets things going, and then I warm up enough to talk.
Keep in mind that you are not alone in this and that your pdoc has been through this before. It's not at all unusual or wierd. If he's good, he can help you figure out where those feelings of attraction truly belong.
It ain't easy to go through all this, (unimaginably embarrasing moments have become common place for me!) but until you do you will be holding yourself back on the road to recovery. In my opinion, you really need to work through this with him.
Good luck!
