I felt the same way when I left my sessions. Sometimes I had to call my T from the car when I was only 1 block away. I felt like she was a magnet, and I was in her gravitational field. It was SO strong! I don't quite understand it either.
There was a movie, probably Steven Spielberg but I'm blocking out on the title, where the people felt this compulsion to build this stuff with clay or dirt. They were running around kind of obsessed, and they all met at the place where the UFO or whatever it was appeared. I have images of that movie, weird as it seems, when I think about my compulsion to be with my T. I even told my T that I was attracted to her like a magnet. It's very powerful. I am a little resentful of my T calling it a "neurotic attachment" when maybe it was just "normal" attachment, at least in the first years of therapy.
What WAS that movie, anyway?
