It's nice that you've kept a positive attachment. A little over a year ago when I had a strong attachment to my T, he warned me "At some point, something I say or do is going to make you very angry. It won't be intentional and I don't know what it will be but I'm just telling you in advance to expect it so you know it's coming." I didn't believe him at the time. Now I seem to be in the thick of it. He also said back then "Working through the angry feelings and getting through to the other side will be very healing". I'm a bit skeptical because I feel like I've been stuck in this mode for so long without moving an inch towards the other side. Maybe showing him this thread will help. Certain to stir things up at any rate - for better or for worse. Weird thing is - I miss him too, even though he's upsetting me so much.

So, sorry that's a bit long winded - but who knows - that may solve your positive attachment problem. Not sure about the 'missing your T' part. Probably a good question for her.
