Is my female psychologist flirting with me when we have a 1 on 1 sessions?

[Anonymous]

Whenever we have 1 on 1 sessions she tends to just sit and stare and we are sitting close to eachother

The picture is pretty identical to how she stares at me resting her head on her hand

Lol... bud, been there... even made a move. Trust me when I say that most everytime, she's just doing that cause its job requirement. Its there job to make you feel comfortable making you more vulnerable and open to talk with her openly and honestly... Its one of those fantasies that im sure any guy would love to have play out... I can see clearly your attracted to her but business ethics prevent her from pursuing anything more than a professional relationship. If you really want to pursue if further you gotta find a new therapist before you try but even that isn't a guarantee

I am sure that that is just how she rests her head. No therapist with any brains or ethics would flirt with a client.

[Anoniemus]

No. She's showing you that she's listening. It would be entirely unprofessional and unethical for her to pursue a romantic relationship with you on top of that. That could cost her her jobs.

[pleasestopthis]

She probably does that to listen more confortably.

I highly doubt that she is flirting with you. Not only could she lose her career and all licensing, but there’s legal consequences that could play a role in this also. I think what ever you are seeing in your therapist that’s making you believe she desires you is a figment of your imagination and you need to get a male therapist. You could possibly make this an extremely uncomfortable situation for her. Poor lady. Smh.

Noup she is just making eye contact because she is listening to you

[Asker]

Ok that's kool and all

But it was only weird because a couple of weeks b4 she asked me if i wanted to be hot in the future

[boredpuppy]

I din't know the context of that but if she has a crush on you or you are developing one for her then your therapy will go to shit lol.

Ask her, maybe you developing a crush so quickly for her needs to be discussed foe your therapy

[Dchrls78104]

If she were, it would be totally unprofessional; and foolish, too, because it could cost her her licence to practise.

In short? No, in long? Perhapse.

As a psych myself i look at people like this that go far into a story.

So unless you tell her a short sentence and she is often lost in thought then no.

[ZELLxoxo]

She's only observing your behaviour as her patient. Nothing more to it.

[GloriaMc]

Don't worry you'll be fine seems like she's checking every side of you 😊

[JimboGB]

Most likely not, the last thing they are trying to do is confuse you.

[WarningWarning]

Mine does that too. Maybe she likes me too

[OlderAndWiser]

Google "psychotherapeutic transference."

[ecfresh]

Nope
