:confused: I Have been going to see a social worker for a little over a year{once a month}. It's for moral support basically. I know all about the code of ethics and possible pitty but I would like some advice on this... I first noticed that I seemed to make this social worker nervous. Always with the direct eye contact. I felt that this woman was attracted to me. So, I finally told her that I was attracted to her and think I should not come by anymore. I felt it would make her uneasy. She said no, that she wants me to keep coming, then she said she would like me to keep coming. I was and still am confused by why she wants me to continue coming if I just admitted to being attracted to her. Thus, making me aware that she has boundaries and that it would be best if I stopped coming. I don't understand why she insisted on me still coming. We talked for near an hour at 6pm, just her and I.I thought it would be over and done within ten minutes. What is going on Here ? :cool:

You stated you are attracted to her - that should have been her cue to recommend another professional for you. Next time you see her ask for a referral to another person, stating that you have developed a "transference" to her. She ought to know what that is. If she does not refer you, you can report her to the state board of social workers. But she ought to refer you - or run the risk of tainting her relationship with you.

In fact, since this bothers you, and you have every right to feel this way, you can call her and ask for the referral over the phone. Good luck to you.
