In reply to I have a hard-on during therapy. I think she knows, posted by Chucky Adkins on April 5, 2004, at 19:31:03
Personally, I don't think that I could have therapy with someone that I was intensely attracted to physically. That's why I have therapy with the same sex therapist.
Have you ever thought that maybe she is actually doing something that is causing this turn on? That explanation about staring at you just doesn't sit well with me. It sounds like she does know what she is doing. It may not be actually all you, but in response to what she is doing.
Or, is it that you are confusing female attention to sexuality? I think this is a very important issue. I just don't see how therapy can be that therapeutic if you are getting aroused. The focus is own the therapist's attraction and not you doing the therapy. It also appears that in your mind you feel like this hour with this woman is in some form of a date like thing. It really sounds like either she is mildly flirting with you and you are responding or you are confusing female attention to sexuality. Which is it? Neither sound like a foundation for quality therapy to me. Have you considered seeing a male therapist?
