I don't know if you can be "too attached." I think if you're securely attached it will allow you to sustain a strong bond and feelings of closeness while you also pursue other relationships and other interests. But if you're not securely attached it can feel way too intense because you can become preoccupied with the relationship and then it may feel like you're "too attached" even though you aren't.

Conversation with my therapist:
Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."
It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
