Am I attracted to them because they are powerful, and if so, does that mean I wish I was more powerful? What is the psychological meaning of this?

I wonder if you were well cared for as a child. You coudl be trying to replicate that, if so.
If not, you are trying to fill a need.
I had a huge one after my near-fatal car crash, on my plastic surgeon's Physician's Assistant.
But I was doped up on finding myself alive, pain pills, and muscle relaxers, you know.
Anyway,
it's an incredible thing to be cared for, and if the person is not your family member, then biologically, you're driven to connect that person to the next generation of family making member.
That's just my sociobiological concept.

There is a psychological term for this and it is very common. It's called "transference", and it refers to the feeling of love that develops in the person being helped by another. Some authorities believe it represents transferring feelings to the helper that one had as a child for a parent.

Falling for your doctor is not uncommon.
Perhaps it's because we're conditioned from a young age to admire doctors for their intelligence and commitment to caring for others. We also tend to feel affection for the people who look after us -- especially if they're attractive. But while most doctors enjoy having a warm relationship with patients, things can get more complicated when those warm feelings turn into a crush.
