Is it normal to have a crush on your therapist?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s fairly common to develop a crush on your therapist. Feeling it isn’t wrong, and a good therapist can help you talk it through while keeping professional boundaries clear.

Therapy can involve feeling deeply understood, cared for, and focused on—conditions that can make attraction show up. Sometimes the crush is also connected to wanting closeness or safety, but you don’t need to figure out the “reason” before mentioning it.

If you feel comfortable, tell your therapist. They should respond without shaming you and keep the relationship professional; acting on romantic or sexual feelings isn’t part of appropriate therapy. If the therapist encourages that kind of relationship or blurs boundaries, that’s a serious concern.
