For me, the idea of putting the concept of therapist with attachment does not seem useful. The whole idea of attaching more to most people, particularly a therapist, to me, does not seem desirable or useful. For me, other people are around, they do whatever they are going to do. Usually what they do has nothing to do with me. I do what I am going to do. It usually has nothing to do with them. Most of us don't have intent to harm the other most of the time. Some are more reliable than others, some are less. Figuring out who fits into which category can lessen misunderstanding. Some I like better than others and choose to spend more time with. The therapist is just another tool to use. But I don't feel like I long for attachment so that is perhaps a difference. I feel as though I am as attached as I want to be to the people around me. It is fine as far as attachment goes. If one has as much attachment as one likes, it can be okay. My point is, I think sometimes it is like chasing after an illusion that there is something magical out there to get all focused on something like the ideal secure attachment.
I dislike it when people get all clingy with me.
