Eventually, according to her, I will internalize the relationship I have with her and be able to see myself through her eyes rather than through the eyes of my abusive family. She also knows a lot and talks a bit about transference, free association, and other psychoanalytic terms, so I know she has some training in that area as well. She has training in EMDR but at this point we have not brought that into my therapy because I don't want to.

hazel, do you mean
attachment-based therapy which is based on attachment theory?
or, do you mean
attachment therapy, which does speak of having "corrective attachment therapy" but isn't based on the attachment theory? it is rather controversial from what i read.
