I wondered how much everyone's relationship with their T's is affected by their attachment styles? And i wonder if the people who have felt betrayed by their ex-T's or left devastated by the actions of a Therapist are the ones who have problems in life with attachment? Do people who have always had secure attachments in life get so affected by what their therapists do?

For me personally, i have issues affecting my life which stem from attachment issues from childhood. That definitely influenced how i related to my ex-T, i just could not trust her not to leave me and it affected the work and out relationship to the point that eventually she terminated me. It has left me bereft, it does feel like an abandonment all over again but i think all my feelings over this have more to do with my past.

If i had secure attachments as a child and had a secure attachment style as an adult, would i never have go so affected by the actions of my therapist? How would a secure person have related to a therapist, how would a secure person have dealt with the break down of the therapeutic relationship?

Any people out there who form secure attachments care to share their experience?
