Sexual weirdness with therapist?!


Question:

Sexual weirdness with therapist?

I'm a 21-yo male and have been seeing a therapist for about four years for depression, bipolar disorder (I am medicated and mostly stable), relationship issues, and well, sexual issues. My problem is that my therapist is female, and we've reached a strange tension in dealing with my sexual issues. It weirded me out to the point that I haven't been back in several months. But I'm really falling apart here, and I need to see somebody. I've always trusted my therapist implicitly, and have been building that trust for a long, long time, and it's possible that I'm just imagining the whole issue. I would like to see her again, but... I'm worried. What should I do?

The problem is not so much that my therapist "can't handle it"... she's always given me good help with my problems... but here it is (weird): I have gotten to where I feel attracted to her and turned on when I talk to her about my issues, and it seems sometimes it is turning her on, too. But like I said, I may just be imagining it.


Answers:

she would have dealt with this kind of thing before it might be that you are just not feeling OK with talking to her about this problem. there to 3 options 1 don't see anyone and carry on with the way life is going 2. go back and get past what is going on. 3 get a new therapist (male might make you feel a little better)
