Do nothing!

Avoid them as much as possible.

why's this in health?
have you got a rash?

i do this regularly.
come to realise tis the forbidden nature of it all that makes the person attractive to me in the first place.
it passes. the thing is not to make a fool of yourself meanwhile.

patients having crushes on doctors is quite a normal thing actually. especially the hospital ones, who tend to be quite young.

i'm in therapy and training to be counsellor (well, it's on hold as I'm ill, but I'm going back when I'm better). We're taught to look at the relationship between client and counsellor as part of the whole process.
I think you should tell him then you can explore the reason why you feel like that with him. He won't do anything because it would be highly unprofessional to do so, and it will be interesting and probably really helpful to look at why you are feeling like this.

lalaa i'd fancy you

I think this is completely normal. After all, he's a man who's listening to you, who's sympathetic/understanding, who's wise, who's helpful, who's available....I think alot of patients experience this.

Would you ever bring it up for discussion at one of your sessions?

By available I mean that he's there for you at your designated appointment time, so the serious discussions happen instead of being avoided/postponed as they are in many relationships.

Yeah right Cod, particularly when I'm bald.

behatted!

Tell him, carla, he'll understand. Transference happens all the time. Freudian analysts even expect it to happen and use it as part of the therapy.

Mind you, depends how much you're enjoying it...don't tell him if it'll spoil the fun .

Oops, lalaa's already made my point, sorry to repeat .

Hey if it gets you out of the house to see him Carla, that can't be a bad thing for a woman in your situation!

when I was having CBT when I was PG, I didn't have a sexual crush on the psychologist, but I did think he was the only person who understood what I was going through atm, so I guess that's a form of dependence/transference what have you. like other posters have said, a sensitive sympathetic bloke can have quite an attraction for us women! I'd just enjoy it as a bit of eye candy/window shopping - the last thing you need is any sort of relationship going on. I wouldn 't be inclined to mention it. It would literally be more than his job's worth to reciprocate!

I agree with MTS - I think that what your psychiatrist is giving you is the empathy and understanding that you're not getting from your H - and it must be nice to have someone who listens to you without judging you, and who is on your side.

I wouldn't mention it to him - it might actually sour your professional relationship and make it more difficult for you to talk to him, and as he seems to be doing you some good, it would be a shame to do that.
