This seems like a good chance to find out if attachment is the problem, or the intensity of the attachment.
I don't think I have attachment issues (other than the fact that I don't attach well outside of the therapeutic setting). But I think I would have a problem with a therapist who didn't share personal information with me. It surprises me when posters reveal that they don't know if their therapists are married or have children. It seems natural to me that a therapist would reveal the basics of their life.
Maybe I would find myself crossing boundaries if had a more private therapist. Maybe you will be comfortable with boundaries now that your new therapist seems to have looser ones than the others.
