I fancy my shrink

I HAVE been seeing a psychiatrist for almost a year now, after being referred to him through my GP.

However over the months I have become very fond and almost obsessive about him. I fantisise about him, and want to know more about him, even to the point where i have thought of following him home to see where he lives.

I know this is wrong and the feelings aren't returned. Should I find a new therapist and start my treatment anew? Or sit still and hope the feelings will pass?

It would not be very good if you did anything about this as there are strict rules about relationships between doctors and their patients.

Maybe going to see someone else would the best thing before it gets out of hand.
