Is it normal to fall in love with your therapist?

Yes, developing strong or romantic feelings for your therapist can happen. It’s okay to have the feelings; the important part is keeping the relationship professional and respecting boundaries.
Therapy involves trust, attention, and talking about deeply personal things, so it’s not surprising if those feelings start to feel like love or a crush. You’re not the only person this happens to, and it doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong.
If you feel comfortable, you can bring it up in a session. A good therapist will respond without shaming you and may help you understand what the feelings mean. They’re responsible for maintaining professional boundaries, so a romantic or sexual relationship isn’t appropriate—even if your feelings are intense.
