I love the expression, "Fix the problem, not the blame". Whose fault it is may be yours, hers, ours, in any proportion, but what difference does that make? I would maybe try someone else, see if you attach well enough to them or not and then you'll know more? Or, I would ignore the whole attach thing and just start working as best I could, talking about things; picking a very small, discreet, incident to talk about ("He had really nice, soft, hair; I remember thinking I shouldn't like it but I did") and see if I could learn/open up a bit that way.

I'm not just going along with the program to be a good client or whatever. I am not that cooperative to just waste my time like that. I haven't done any trauma work yet. We just had our first trauma session.
This isn't a question of me wanting to attach or not. Normally, I would choose not to attach to anyone because it hurts less when they leave. I get attached involuntarily regardless of my fears.
