My fourth session with my university psychiatrist has taken on an entirely new vibe. he is friendly, smart and eccentric, i noticed things in our third session that led to intense erotic transference for him. I had no feelings before out third session, but I decided to mention being paranoid of my father having sexual feelings towards me as a child. He spent the rest of the session asking about my sex life, offering helpful analysis. I realise the nature of this discussion would bring up sexual feelings of father-daughter to patient-client transference.

I'm a model and before this, I smiled at him and he appeared all over the place then looked away, after that seemed to take a shining to me! Fourth session, he swanned to his chair and in a very surprisingly loving exasperated tone, announced 'and here we are again!', so overpoweringly I couldn't look him in the face. He's very skilled but is he possibly becoming a bit lovesick? I keep smiling at him because I can't stop feeling flustered! He was abrupt balanced with occasional sweetness in our first two sessions but its now personal like hes come alive. I am 21, he is mid forties, hes showing these little boyish traits. He slipped out he likes my smile, then said laugh, to analyse why laughing may be defensive in facing emotions. He's professional in discussion, but his dreamful tone makes me feel very confused! Am i projecting? I'm pretty good at recognizing when men like me as most I've though have always confirmed so, apart from that memory with my dad! I'm not generally paranoid, I rarely think men do like me due to low self-esteem
