I don't view T that way. She's somebody to bounce things off of, but not someone I'm particularly attached to. She's a professional. Like a Doctor or Dentist. She's not my boyfriend.
I truly don't get the whole thing where you're supposed to have some intimate relationship. Do. Not. Get. It.

Your therapy might not require a particular relationship. Some people use their therapists as a sounding board or for advice and strategies on particular issues. Other people require something else. If your issue (or one of them) is that you have not experienced a secure enough attachment early on, then the attachment becomes your focus and the relationship pretty much
is the therapy while whatever content you discuss is secondary.
