I have been with a new therapist for around 3-4 months and am starting to have these thoughts of her dominating me,but not in a sexual way perse. (she’s female mid 30’s and I’m female, 26) It turns me on to think about the tension that would exist , but I wouldn’t want it to go beyond what I describe below.

Sometimes when I’m sharing things that are extremely difficult or when I have to pause before saying them to gain composure, she makes very attentive eye contact and is quick to validate and reassure me that she believes me, because others haven’t in the past. The way she changes the tone and style of her voice is significant. It becomes a bit deeper and gently assertive.

I can’t for the life of me get this picture out my head, her standing very, very close to me, looking down at me because I’m shorter than her and staring me in the eyes or looking me up and down without saying a single word. It makes my heart race picturing it in my head. I wouldn’t want her to touch me, but maybe I am against a wall and she puts her arm out to touch the wall behind me while standing centimeters away from me looking down. Thoughts?
