That's a tough question, and the urgency of that very question comes and goes for me. Currently, I'm on an upswing (that's a bad thing) in my feelings for my therapist. I felt like she had rejected me once, so I was holding back on her, not allowing myself to be too vulnerable to her. Then we talked about it and I feel much better. Unfortunately, now I'm thinking about her more and more again. It's not an erotic thing, although I can see how that could happen with a nice male therapist. Funny though, I've had male therapists and never got remotely attached to either of them. But I've gotten obsessively attached to various women my whole life. I guess I just crave that warm, feminine love that I didn't get from my mother.
