pinksoil, good for you, you made the call! I'm sure it didn't sound as bad as you thought. Let us know if you get the appointment or not.

I have a question for everyone who has a strong attachment to their T. Is being strongly attached to T the same as transference? Or are they two separate psychotherapy phenomena? If they are separate, do they always go hand in hand? Like if you have a strong attachment, does that necessarily mean you are also experiencing transference? Or can you be strongly attached with no transference?
