Sometimes it helps to laugh even though it hurts!
So, here it is....Top 10 Signs You've Got It Bad for Your T
1. You know your T's astrological sign and have checked the charts for compatibility with yours
2.You own every CD, book and film T has ever mentioned passively in sessions
3. You find newfound meaning in cheesy rock ballads and sappy love poems
4. You have mentally categorized every single item of clothign T has ever worn
5. Considering naming your next born child after T
6. You know T has many patients but let's face it you're the one (s)he likes best
7. New but proud subscriber to a myriad of post monthly clinical psychology newsletters and bookclubs
8. Have difficulty constructing sentences to others that do not begin with "My T says..."
9. Looked up T on the Internet. Even worse, ADMITTED IT TO THEM
10. Shave your legs and wear your best matching bra set to every appointment, because you *just* never know

Number two: "But it sounded like a good book, and I do like to read!" (Yes, I ordered a book he mentioned, but I *think* it was because it sounded interesting. Maybe I'm wrong... Does pdoc count the way therapists do? I mean, is this a sign that I've got it bad for pdoc, or are they in a sort of got-it-bad-free-zone?)
Oh, and yeah, I did admit to looking him up on both the AMA site and the CA Medical Board site, to see if he'd been reprimanded. {{shrug}} he probably figured I'd do that anyway, so I *think* that's not a sign I've got it bad...
On the other hand...

OMG, that used to be me... And the shaving, oh yes, YOU NEVER KNOW!!!
But, now I don't care... I still shave, becasue I'd do him.. But, he's mentioned many songs before and I don't bother to remember, let alone check them out...
I have approximated his sign, as he only gave the month. And I wouldn't name my child after him, as I don't care much for his name... Shall I add to your list, if you don't mind....
Go to the local grocery within closeness distance to his address.... Hoping he may be there...
Checking out every automobile similar to the one he drives.... Even worse yet, rolling down your tinted windows because if that is him, he wouldn't be able to see you too...
Check out his local gas station, because you never know if he's pumping/// Gas that is..
Look his number up in the phone book to be sure the picture you saw is in fact his wife...
Wear clothes to session that you know pleases him
Don't admit your faults, as you wouldn't want him to know you have faults (Of course I don't have any, but I wouldn't mention that "I feel fat today" as he may think, "Well you look fat today, but I never noticed it before"
Wink at him during session
Plot ways to be able to touch him (IE: if your foot touches his, casually touch it and apologize for bumping his foot)
Try to find out what he thinks aobut in his "Private moments"
Encourage him that he could get away with cheating on his wife... (Oh, lord yes I have!!! I'm horrible)
*I feel like I'm writing a "How to Guide" for flirting with your Therapist...
Oh, and my friends are so tired of hearing about my therapist.. They have threatened to strangle me if I continue... Soemtimes when I meet people I say, "Hi! My na,me is Karen and I'm in therapy."
Think about writing a paper about your therapist
(But chicken out.. Maybe for my 20 page law paper... Hmmmm..)

That isn't about falling in love with one's therapist--it's good medical consumer self-advocacy.

It's just a damn *good* rationalization!
(OK, I'm kidding about that. I happen to agree with you, that checking things like that is just giving oneself the same respect we'd give our cats or dogs. You wouldn't take your pets to a vet who hadn't been recommended in some way, would you? I've even told my pdoc that he's being judged against the same standards that apply to my vets. I hope he wasn't insulted, but even if he was -- too bad. I've had the great good fortune of having had some really exceptional veterinarians, and if he can't live up to their standard, well, that's for him to work out.) (The only personal style pictures in his office, by the way, are two pictures of his dog. One is new, which I commented on, and he then drew my attention to the other. Can't say for sure, but I'd say he's a man who might understand and not be insulted. And I've noticed, at times when I mention something like my cat with CRF, his eyes are drawn to one of those two pictures.)
(But vets have a higher standard, with rules that are pretty hard to follow, like:
1. If a symptom or behavior corresponds in time with the addition of a drug, first assume that the drug is the cause of the symptom or behavior.
2. It is very rarely appropriate to prescribe additional medication to treat side effects of any drug.
3. When a drug causes side effects, stop its use.
4. You get the point, right? I don't have to belabor it.)
{{sigh}} Doncha wish we got the same quality of care that our pets do?

KarenKay I love your reply...It is good to have a laugh about all the insanity....
Isn't the CAR thing horrible? If I'm in the city he lives in I go absolutely bonkers. I break down into a cold sweat and become dizzy from staring down every single car that passes by. I don't even understand WHY. I've had major crushes before and this was definitley not my behavior.
Don't feel bad about the encouraging cheating on his wife. I actually haven't given up this angle yet...(Kidding..I think?)
I love hearing anything about anything he does when he is outside the office. What a high....
Great stuff...heehee....

Okay, mine are different since I am female and my t. is female....
1. Imagine she is holding me and feeding me a bottle or nursing me (EEEUUWW!)
2. Imagining what she looks like naked or in a bathing suit.
3. Pretend she is rocking me to sleep (can you tell I have infant issues? LOL)
4. Try to remember what she smells like (and she is unscented unfortunately, intentionally I assume!)
5. Pretend I am her favorite client of all timeOkay those are kind of lame but things I think about. This was fun. thanks

10 reasons why YOU DONT WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOUR T
1.you find out that he is REALY SMALL!!!!!!!!
2.He is a terrible kisser
3.You freak out during sex and have a huge panick attack due to realising "this is it"
4. You become over self conscious and realise he is seeing your entire body
5.He dosen't shut up and starts saying things like "so how does that make you feel? "
6.He is terrible in bed
7.It is better as a fantasy because as a reality it isnt what you expected it to be and you have to face the harsh reality that he is compensating doing a "mind job" as he is pysically terrible.
8.He looks at you after your time together and says "that will be .....dollars please"
9.He isn't who you think he is and your entire world becomes completely shattered....he is a terrible lover ,not to mention he has no ethics and after your experience that will start getting you down.
10 Before you "do it" he analyses all the different positions and says "which one will work for you this isn't about me this is about you"
I challenge anyone to come up with 10 reasons ....Why you don't want to sleep with your T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy, I was just thinking about how obsessed I am about my T and then I found this thread! Too scary! I couldn't help but it, but I felt kind of sad that this is something common. I don't know why. Maybe it made me feel not special??? Anyway, I am so obsessed with my T and just last week we had a conversation about my sexual attraction to him. He is such a great guy and he said some things that I think came out wrong. Like he said that he felt threatened and when I asked why he respnded, "you're only human. I'm only human. This is something that *could* happen." I think he meant that it's scary because human nature allows for mistakes and that this scenario isn't something that is impossible between two humans. It just gave me way too much hope at the time! LOL
One thing about him that's made me really love him is that he trusts me. That's helped me to trust him. He allows me to page him (or call on the cell if I want--but I'm deaf and that's too complicated usually) any time and sometimes if he hasn't heard from me for a few days he'll even e-mail me and tell me he was wondering if my week was going all right since he knew I was having a rough go. He shares information about himself with me and doesn't seem hesitant. He's hilarious. He e-mailed me once and was telling me about what he'd been doing that weekend. In session, when he's trying to emphasize that he has vulnerability just like all people, he will tell me about times that he made an ass out of himself or that he felt embarrassed. I just love him so much!!
