    I love this discussion because this is kind of an issue with me in therapy. Actually reading that other women have these feelings for their therapist is a relief, I'm not weird!

    However, I recognize and appreciate that the therapist can not cross those boundaries. I expect that of him because he is the professional.

    Actually, if a therapist does cross these boundaries especially with a woman who has been sexually abused they would do the woman harm. The woman already does not know appropriate sexual boundaries and it becomes just another man to take advantage of her.

    I call my love feelings for my therapist, "a crush" and only a crush because its all it will ever be. And deep down I know that I would never want anything more because of what that would mean about this person I trust. I also respect and feel respected by my therapist.
