I agree wit ShortE - it isn't easy.
My therapist use to bring it up - I'd say something about someone else and he'd "wonder" if I felt that way about him too. It was really hard to admit but he helped me a lot.
Two years later, I've gotten used to talking about our relationship, but each new feeling is difficult. But it feels really important now that I tell him how I feel and we try to figure out why.
Often you simply have to promise yourself that you WILL speak up and then MAKE yourself. I think it is OK to ask for help too: "I want to talk about something but I think I need you to help me with it. So if you could ask questions, that might make it easier on me."
Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
