Trauma bond?

I went through something traumatic with work around a year ago now and my boss really helped me with things. I opened up to him and cried expressing my emotions.

He sorted it all out and made it ok. I've since developed a stinking crush on him and I'm married with 2 kids. I feel guilty about my feelings for this man and my belly makes flips when I see him about the office. I sweat and don't know how to behave.

I'm a 30 something woman and I feel like I'm back at school around him.

I'm trying to ignore it all but it's not going away. I think about him all the time. Would hypnosis work? Am I trauma bonded to him? It's awful.

No - you've a crush on him simply because he was nice to you. Thats what happens when your usual expereince with men is less than re-assuring. It natural!
