It would be extremely unethical for your doctor to pursue a relationship with you because you are her patient. She may be a cis woman and uncomfortable with another women desiring her. You have also put her career in jeopardy. No wonder she is standoffish.

She probably feels very awkward around you because she doesn't want to undo any progress you have made during your stay at the hospital. It's probably best to forget about her and move on.

She's a therapist and doctor at a mental health clinic. I think it's pretty common to have feelings for your "caretaker" when you develop somewhat of a doctor - patient relationship with them. It's more common than you think. How did I put her job in jeopardy. I didn't do anything?

Why? I could openly talk about this topic and we are all grown ups and am I not allowed to deeply appreciate a person?

She also chose to build a group with me, in a circle with 11 other patients. How is this supposed to be awkward around me. If she was she would have chosen other patients to sit in a group with. It was just me and two doctors.

I am trying. Do you have any advice how?

Btw.: Cis woman means identifying with the sex Hetero would be the sexuality
