We're not supposed to comment on individual cases, here. This is really a forum for professionals. If you go up to the top of the forum you'll find links for specific websites where clients can go to seek information and help. In general terms, I feel I can comment that attraction to one's therapist is completely normal and even to be expected. (Therapists expressing attraction to clients or acting upon it is extrememly unethical and can even be illegal, depending upon the behavior.) As a client, acting upon this attraction is inappropriate, but feelings are never inappropriate. In fact, one can learn a lot about oneself and one's issues by exploring these kinds of attractions. Clients need not be embarassed about discussing attraction feelings with the therapist - in most cases this kind of discussion is extremely insightful and helpful.
