Hi,
I'm a newbie here but this seemed like more of an appropriate forum for my questions.
I've been seeing a psychiatrist for about 5-6 months now, and a therapist at the same place for about 1-2 months. I recently realized I have a big crush on my psychiatrist. The thing is, from the little I understand about transference I don't talk to him like I would my therapist...he's not my counselor except as far as meds go. But he seems really caring and nice (and intelligent...and funny). So...is this transference? What exactly is transference anyway and how is it supposed to help me in this situation? And finally, is this something I should mention to my therapist? It gets a little painful at times because there are several things I really like about him, but maybe it will just go away in time and I shouldn't 'rock the boat', so to speak. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Unfortunately I saw your post just as I started getting migraine aura, so I can't reply right now. But I know there is lots of discussion on this topic on Psychobabble Psychology, so I posted a copy of your post there. Here's a link

Don't feel bad. It's a perfectly normal reaction to a caregiving situation.
