I have had big and deep issues I worked on with my T, and small daily life things from time to time too. Throughout all of this, the attachment endures and is helpful. Even after I am done with therapy, I think the attachment or at least some element of the relationship will continue and be helpful to me in tackling problems on my own (internalization).
I'm just hoping that the intensity and need decrease substantially.
