Plus he's really attractive, i think I am forming a bond with him cause he knows a lot about me and listens to my problems, and tHAT makes me uncomfortable cause I had a dream about him and we...you know. Ugh!!!!!!

Yes I started seeing one in 11th grade. I have been seeing one off and on for years, up until the present and I'm 61! Me and Woody Allen, life long neurotics! All kidding aside ... if you need one, then see one. It's no disgrace and who knows you might actually start feeling a lot better. Plus, it's OK to cry in therapy … people do it all the time … that’s why they always have a box of Kleenex handy.
Sigmund Freud called the strong attachment one feels toward a therapist "transference." Look it up in an encyclopedia. It's pretty normal ... just don't act on it. Keep some emotional distance from your doctor. Some therapists (not saying yours would) have been known to take advantage of young women who were experiencing strong transference. Nothing is more destructive in therapy then forgetting your personal boundaries and stepping across the line. Maintain a healthy professional distance from your therapist. Always remember he's there to help you with your ADHD not fall in puppy love with!

usually, a psychologist will concentration greater on listening and "communicate scientific care," helping you think of in the path of the flaws which may be inflicting the melancholy.

I go to a psychologist. Perhaps you should switch to a different one. I go to a woman, so I don't have that kind of problem. But being uncomforatable with your psychologist is going to get in the way of your progress. You should tell him that you would be more comforatable seeing a woman, and ask him if he can make any recomendations. Having the right psychologist is extremely important. You won't be able to do any work on yourself if you're too worried about him.

Yea i see a psychologist and I have to see a psychiatrist some time over the next two weeks. But hey, I mean everyone finds someone attractive, male or female, so don't worry about it too much, everyone goes through it.

Well considering I am almost one myself, yes. But dont worry I saw one as a kid, my brother still sees both, many people have seen one before. As to the feelings well, I think that is typical reactions- sounds like you are younger. All the same I dont think that will be a problem. Sounds like you dont have close bonds with family members maybe?

It depends on the psychologist, if you like him (which it sounds like you do) and you feel better than keep going. I personally had a bad experience but I'm in the minority. Follow your gut instincts, if you know for a fact that going helps and you feel comfortable talking to him then don't worry about what anybody else thinks.

it`s very common to be attracted to your doc, realize it & go on.all the women probaly feel this way.it always makes me nervous.to go see my shrink.but don`t ever feel ashamed crying.of course you`ll feel a bond, to me that`s a sign of a good therapist. mine, had to move to a better practice- i hugged him bye! he helped me so much-i really appreciated him.always-be wary-but, realize the difference in true physical love & trust. tell him, you think he`s attractive, he should laugh it off,if not run for the hills. he sounds like agood doc. DON~T FLIRT WITH HIM. you are there for treatment!

next time you go there turn your back to him so you wont feel shy, and tell him about how he makes you feel and what you think of him and ask him if you should still continue your therapy with him

No.
It's a form of brainwashing.
You should contemplate your problems on your own.
