"if i ever had romantic feelings for my doctor i would stop the therapy- is that a bad thing? but just b/c i would think it would interfere with MY issues that i came to him for."
It seems to me like it would interfere with the issues you came to him for, but apparently, for some it helps. If I experienced erotic transference, I would automatically try to become "Perfect," and my problems would disappear. Someone I'm attracted to can NOT know the real me, or that something might be wrong with me. So, it would shut down the theraputic process. But fortunately, I'm not attracted to my pdoc that way. But, I love it when he treats me like a daughter. It feels safe. I watched a biography (E! True Hollywood Story) on Dr. Phil, and it said that he said that he hated listening to all his patients complain. I wonder if thats what my doctor thinks about me. I hope not.
