I have been in therapy for three months now and am just starting to encounter feelings of "love" for my therapist. I am attracted to him sexually and paternally and I'm sure I idealize the hell out of him.
During my last session, I gave him Deborah Lott's book to read which he said he had never seen and he seemed as if he was very interested in reading it. I am hoping that this may open up a new dialogue between us since I have been much too shy to bring up any feelings I have towards him in our sessions. I even underlined some particularly relevant passages which I felt described my feelings toward him.
I am wondering if anyone else has had a conversation with their therapist about Lott's book? If so, how did it go? I am quite curious as to how he will react since I have no idea if he even suspects I love him so much.
