Now I am confused :-) what is the main difference between bonding and attaching. Is attaching more of a long-term, needing kind of thing? Bonding is more of a shared interest that is lost you would just find someone else to bond with?

I don't know what term accurate describes my T connection. I feel positive about it. It is very intense at times. I like her. Would miss her if I stopped going or got kicked out.I often seem to want to talk and communicate with her. And I care, a lot about what she thinks about me and the things I disclose. But I don't want her to role play my mother or for her to be a close friend...at least while she is my therapist. I like the fact that what happens in therapy stays in therapy if you know what I mean.
