Is it normal to be attracted to your therapist?
Yes, it can be normal to feel attracted to your therapist. Therapy involves trust, attention, and emotional closeness, which can bring up strong feelings—including a crush.
A therapist listens closely, takes you seriously, and gives you a lot of focused attention. It makes sense that those things might spark attraction, or that you might feel attached to someone you’re being vulnerable with. You’re not the only person this happens to, and you don’t need to feel embarrassed about it.
The important part is keeping the relationship professional: your therapist is responsible for maintaining clear boundaries. If the attraction is distracting you or feels important to explore, you can bring it up in a session. A good therapist can talk it through without shaming you.
