For the first time in my four years of having therapy I have a male therapist. At first I was really resistant to that, just because I thought it would be weird talking to him about intimate things between my partner of three years and I. I've been seeing this therapist since August 2017, and recently he asked me to email him every day once I'd completed my daily mood tracking cards and food diary (I had issues with completing them, so emailing him was incentive). At first I just emailed him a couple of pictures off the internet that said "done", but then I decided to turn it into a creative exercise (I'm a graphic designer so I gravitate towards that stuff). 

But I've noticed that this simple act of emailing him something personal that I've created, every day, has caused me to grow a weird emotional attachment. I keep checking my phone every day constantly to see if he's emailed back. I keep looking out for him when I'm in group (I'm in a four day a week therapy programme). I think about him a lot, but not in THAT way. A friend of mine suggested that maybe he's become an FP (favourite person).

So, I wanted to know, has anyone else FP'd their therapist? What have you done about it? How did you bring it up with them, if at all (especially if they're of the opposite sex)?

NOTE: I've been with my boyfriend for three years and fully intend to marry him. This attachment to my therapist isn't romantic at all. Just bloody annoying.
