It has been reaffirming to follow along on this post. I decided to begin seeing a therapist when I was really depressed. I chose a female therapist becasue I knew I would have transference problems with a male. Unfortunately, I immediately fell in love with my female therapist. It was not only unfortunate because she was completely in experienced, but she had to terminate because it was the end of her internship. I was devastated. When I discovered that she walks by my house (she lives in the same town as I) and tried to say hello, she ignored me. I was even more devasted. My psychiatrist finally convinced to see a new therapist, and now I'm in love with my new therapist (also a female). Unrequited love sucks! I finally let her know that its happening again and was relieved to find out that she has been waiting and expecting it to happen. She thinks I will only be successful working out these issues if I'm involved in a tranference thing! It is reafirming to see others experiencing the same thing, especially with a same sex therapist. I always thought I was a heterosexual and am married.
