With my first T, I became attached. I guess I had attachment issues stemming from an abusive mom and family. I think that I needed to attach to heal. Now with my second T 20 years later, I am just a little afraid of her, but I do not see that intense attachment forming. I am secure, just a little shaken and mixed up. I think of my first T lovingly and I know she is not family, but my therapy mommy. T's should have a special definition created for them to represent our relationship with them. This is a special relationship. Anyone who has a special T understands, but outsiders do not understand. My new T and I talked about this because I was ashamed of my feelings for first T. She was very supportive. T's must be trained to do this or something so we can share and heal and be emotionally healthy. Maybe you can ask your T what is to much?
