I spent quite a bit of time thinking about this very thing today. I too have become quite attached to my new T. We have a bit of history before our individual work started, so I think the attachment came quickly and easily. Today I was thinking about how I WANT to be attached to her. How this is such a comfort to me. This feeling is so different than my relationship with my mother, who I do not have a strong bond with and who I think I learned to protect myself from the pain of abandonment (among other things) from. I think that I am at a place where it feels like that bond, the one I missed, learned to disown, and even believed I didn't want, might actually be the avenue for healing. Thanks for posting this.
