My therapist is eye candy to me. Not only that, but she possesses many of the traits that I am looking for in a mate. If she weren't my therapist, I would have asked her out.
It was my conclusion that I would have to exercise some self-discipline so as not to allow feelings to emerge. I think they would just get in the way of therapy. I consider her off limits. If she were to ask me, I would tell her just what I described here. But I don't think what I experience is transference so much as a healthy level of testosterone flowing in my veins. I think there is some sexual tension there on the part of both of us, but I just ignore it.
I don't know.
How does one differentiate between transference and having an attraction to your therapist?
