Is it normal to think about your therapist?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s normal to think about your therapist, especially if sessions feel important or you’re developing a crush. You can bring it up in therapy; a good therapist can talk it through while keeping clear professional boundaries.

Therapy can bring up strong feelings, and your therapist may take up more space in your thoughts because you’re sharing personal things and getting focused attention. Sometimes that’s a crush; sometimes it’s simply thinking about what you discussed or wishing you could talk again. None of that means you’ve done anything wrong.

If it feels useful, awkward, or distracting, you can tell your therapist. These feelings are something therapists are trained to handle, and the relationship should stay professional: your therapist is responsible for maintaining appropriate boundaries.
