How do I get over falling in love with my therapist, especially when you know without doubt that tranference has absolutely nothing to do with your feeling? I know that most people might say, who hasn't fallen for their therapist, but what I feel doesn't seem to go away, even though it's been such a long time. I am trying really hard to work through this and get over it, but it never goes away. I am in need of objective opinions. Reply to this Question

 If you are still receiving counseling from this therapist you need to let him/her know. He needs to refer you to a new therapist, until then, you won't be really benefiting from therapy. If you have not done so already, you will begin to act flirty and start just expressing part of your problems which will definitely not help you!
Really... tell him/her if you want to get through it. Good luck!

 I say get another therapist and fast. It is not going to help your original reason for going to therapy in the first place and now you ahve another issue to contend with-your falling in love with your therapist. The less you see of him/her the better. I had a similar situation--not with a therapist but with a teacher of mine--I had this infatuation with him, this all American, good looking, boy next door guy. And it ruined my life-mentally and emotionally. So my solution? I cut class the rest of the year and avoided him as much as possible (in the hall, I'd dodge him, etc). I know it is a difficult thing to try to do, but this is for your own good. Trust me. I believe you can do it. Good luck!
