I've been seeing my therapist for 8 mo's or so. I've been to a couple
other therapist over the last 12 yrs. This guy is very good and
he is really figuring out my trouble and sticking with it to get me
the help that I've needed. (I am bipolar)
I haven't mentioned a word of my intrusive thoughts to him. I do not want
to think about him at all other than being my therpist. However, the images keep comeing into my head. Not all the time, but still, too much. I keep trying to push off the thoughts. I do not want to lose my therapist. He is good. He has been nothing but professional. It is just my screwed up thinking. Has anyone else ever been in this situation? What did you do? Any advice? He is very smart and I don't want him to become aware of my thinking in this matter. I do not want him to suggest I see a different therapist - if that is what he would do. I don't even know. This hasn't happened b4. But I see him every week. Sorry, I can't explain any better.

I've worked in the mental health field w/ many different therapists. I recommend biting the bullet and telling him about it. He probaby wouldn't be surprised and has run into this issue before. By the time you've worked out with him why you have those feelings, you'll probably be turned off to the idea.

Well u gotta ask yourself 2 questions.. 1. Is he good looking, and is it his nice bod you want?
2. Is it because he "listens" to you like no one else does... You are going to a therapist because you need "help". So obviously, as you stated he is great, and he is helping you... You're feelings are "wow!", finally something is working, and you begin to feel a "closeness" to this person... because he can read your mind, and he has helped you overcome so much... Maybe you have never had a "guy" figure in your life, and you are becoming attached to him. ??.. because not only is he the "perfect" man who sits, and talks with you, and listens... *( basically everything husbands or fathers don't do )*... He is "caring" for you and your needs.
To tell or not to tell... No... I wouldn't tell... Just remind yourself, he sees a lot of other woman each day and week, and to him, you are just "one of the girls"... and you're paying him, and doing business with him... I know this is going to be extremely difficult, but you will be happy you stopped these feelings in the end.. His job is to "heal" you... Once you are showing " progress" he is going to only need to see you once every other week, then once a month... etc.etc. It might be OK to "dream" and "think", but the reality of it is.......... it won't ever work out...
It might be OK to be like, " i am trusting you wiht my life right now, and I actually look forward to coming and talking to you, I have never trusted anyone like this, and you're advice is making me feel 10,000 times better").... Hope this helps...
hang in there!

i am sure that he is used to that, it is nothing ,you are old enough to control your filling try to keep it at a professional level.i know you don't want him to know but maybe if you talked to him about it might get easier if he knew .i think that you are just very grateful for his help .i hope i helped be strong and in control life and fillings.

Tell him sweetie, so he can help you to deal with it, before it begins to interfere with your treatment and the progress you have made!!!
