After seeing her for a year and a half, I finally confessed my romantic/parent-child feelings toward my therapist (for me, it’s really a mixture of both types) to her.She was very accepting and made me feel very comfortable talking to her, but she told me some stuff that I found confusing. She said that she had noticed me flirting with her in earlier sessions and noticed herself "playing with" that, and that she "found [me] very beautiful." I really trust her and believe she would never allow anything physical or otherwise inappropriate to happen between us (although I want it to), but I can't understand what the therapeutic purpose might have been of telling me she found me beautiful. It made me feel really good, but it just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. Maybe that was a mistake on her part, or maybe not (since it made me feel good and safe with her, and sort of like my feelings were not so crazy).

Hi. There's a lot of discussion going on at Psychological Babble about tranference, and you're likely to get more replies on that board. So I've redirected your question there. You can follow the links at the top of the page, or go directly to your post at:
