Clingy is comforting. It may not always be the most suitable quality, and it can certainly interfere. But we can recognize those who are accepting of that need in us and also when we need to let go; I can think of other behaviors that are much less appealing and harmful. I think it's great to be able to have contact with your therapist when you need to ~ by all means, utilize those aids you are fortunate to have to help when indeed you must rely on something/someone.
