I think my T feels a healthy "T" amount of attachment towards me. I don't know if "attachment" is necessarily the right word-- maybe "connection" is a better fit. She's happy to see me when I walk through the door, she genuinely cares about me and how I'm doing, and she always wants the best for me. Occasionally, she'll tell me that she saw something that reminded her of me during the week, that she (anonymously) repeated a funny story I told her, that she's given more thought to something I said and now had a "spiel" for me, or that she was anxious to hear an update from me on a particular thing we discussed the previous week. I can feel her level of caring, and I think it's exactly right for the level of a T-client relationship. If I stopped therapy tomorrow, she would miss me as a client, but it wouldn't interrupt her life or anything like that. She'd think about me from time to time (say, if a new client reminded her of me, or when she happened to pass by one of the places I talked a lot about), and she'd be happy to get an update from me once in a while and send me an e-mail back (she's told me when I stop therapy, I'm welcome to send her an update once or twice a year and she will respond). I'm really happy with the level of care, connection, and attachment I feel with my T. I love her in a "T-way" and I think she loves me in a "client way." Whether she'd use the word "love" or "caring" or "professional regard," I don't know and I don't think it makes much difference. I feel positive energy coming from her, towards me, and that's all I need to be able to trust her and open up.
