Modern Morals: I'm having intense romantic feelings for my therapist - should I tell him how I feel?
"I've been attracted to him from the start, but now I don't know how to separate my feelings from our weekly sessions"
"I've been seeing a therapist for over a year. He is the first therapist I've connected with and who understands my patterns."
"Everyone who knows me well has noticed how much more relaxed and settled I am since I started seeing him."
The client has been attending weekly therapy sessions with the same therapist for over a year and reports a strong personal connection. The therapist is described as the first who truly understands the client's behavioral patterns. The client reports having been attracted to the therapist from the start and now struggles to separate romantic or emotional feelings from the therapeutic work. Friends and family have noticed measurable improvements in the client's relaxation and sense of being settled since therapy began. The coexistence of therapeutic progress and emerging romantic attraction creates emotional complexity within the weekly treatment context.
