A-ha! This makes SOOOO much sense to me. It puts something into words that I guess I've felt, but never named. The fact that T accepts my attachment so readily, and sees the value in it, and reciprocates by being loving and caring towards me gives me such a sense of safety. And I DO think I am starting to value my Self more, because he values me so much.
I wonder if that is part of the difference between a secure and an insecure attachment in the therapy relationship?? The T's attitude towards the attachment?? I think that if T was somehow resisting my attachment, it would make things so hard....
