i just can't help but feel that he must think i'm so pathetic and stupid.
Most therapists, and especially those more recently trained, see attachment as progress. I can`t imagine him thinking you`re pathetic. Rather, your attachment is like a gift to him. It tells him he has been effective.

So don`t worry yourself!
Thanks for this!
