I can't picture myself ever contacting her between sessions, but then again it might be best for me to try to deal with things on my own more. I'm not sure what I'm looking for here- mostly getting my thoughts out of my head so I can look at them. Any thoughts from y'all?
I think you answered your own question.

You know you need to be attached to do your best work in therapy.

The other comment I'll make, though, is that in the beginning I would not have imagined getting attached to the therapist I have either. I have no idea how it happened.. but the attachment that eventually developed allowed things to happen that have changed my life forever.

So - don't over-analyze the relationship in the beginning. Just be *in* it. You may eventually decide that it's not going to work, but first give it time. You just never know
