So I changed pnurses because I was becomeing 'hypersexual' with him as he put it. The truth is I was flirting with him because I was becoming sexually attracted to him. But as some of you put it I was haveing transfeance issues with him and I should end the relationship as he may have been having countertransferance.
Anyways I have a new pdoc and DAMN I melted the first time I saw him and vowed to not go back. I've seen him twice since then and the same reaction. I don't usually think sexual things about people. Perhaps I am just beating myself up 'cause it's normal right??? I mean men think sexual thought's all day about women and maybe men. So is it okay that I occasionally think naughty thought's about my pdoc while he is mentally helping me. xxx

I think if you're becoming sexually attractive to this pdoc as well it's time for a switch.....sexual thoughts about ones own pdoc always end badly. Thank God I have a woman for a pdoc.

I'm married and my sexual desires are all out the window.....now that there's more to love I can't keep my husband off of me. I wish I was skinny and hyper sexual again. I miss those days!

nuaghty words do get us in trouble with the pdoc.
so watch out when the big doc comes to reprimnand you.

not attracted to him but way too dependent on him. he's the main support outside of here that i have.

I think some sexual attraction is the way of the world. A smile, a glance, it helps things get done. It happens everywhere and that's ok.

It's when it goes from a mild sexual attraction to an emotional attachment that is a problem and that often happens with therapists, that's something they watch out for.

deleted_user 01/22/2009

Thanx acuriousfish, your opinions are always so intelligent. Yes I was emotionally attached to my last pnurse and I am sure he had some countertransferance but with the help of some of you I found a new nurse.

And no no no naughty words, just naughty thoughts with my pdoc but he is leaving in March so that takes care of that.

My pdoc is way too easy on the eyes. lol

Both the PN's that run my weekly group therapy.....sigh.

One is male and one is female and I am attracted to both. I'm just glad I don't have private sessions with either one. I swear I would push boundaries and that would be very bad.

I am hypersexual so I think that way about just about all men. I used to have a hard time with seeing my therapist but in time (a long time) I got over it and moved on to bigger and better things (pardon the pun). Thinking back it seemed to be more of a dependence on him more than anything. Our conversations are mostly centered around sex so attractions are bound to fly. I take my infactuations from one person to the other and then get over it. It just a fact of life for an overly stimulated person. I've learned to have great self control over the years. As long as I don't go manic I due pretty good.

i look to my pdoc too much i think. my pdoc is highly respected in my area and i put all my trust in him.

deleted_user 01/22/2009

That's called transference when you think you're in love with your therapist. It's actually a well known part of psychotherapy and happens in many cases.
Basically, you are transferring your affections from your father figure or other male figure onto the therapist.
I know it sounds weird, but look it up. Sure you could find much better info.

I can’t say today I woke up wondering why I should even be alive, or running through every if and or but there is in the world with a never ending wha it... or possibly that my heads so foggy I can’t even think. The fog is what gets me, the want so bad to do something anything but having absolutely no ... thought... or next step or know to do so is the hardest. It’s like there’s so much...
