I became attached to my T right away, in the first session, I think. I had been in her waiting room already, and heard her voice, on other occasions. I knew that I wanted to attach to her, so I did. It was a conscious decision for me.
When I began therapy many years ago, it took a long time to attach to my T because I didn't understand the process. I thought therapy was a "Dear Abby" kind of set-up. Boy, was I wrong!
