In reply to Asking your T if he ever fantasizes about you?, posted by tinydancer on January 8, 2004, at 9:36:49
If I wanted to know, I'd just ask it straight out, rather casually. Or maybe with a "do therapists ever fantasize about their patients". Most therapists have the wit to understand that that question is not actually a general one. He likely won't answer you though. And may ask why you want to know, what you imagine/wish he fantasizes about you. Grist for the mill.
Personally, I wouldn't want to know. If he ever does think of me between sessions (which I doubt) I imagine the fantasies would involve boiling me in oil or more likely referring me to another therapist.
