I do have a question for you newtus and others here who have or have had therapists... how does the attachment thing work? I've been to several therapists, and I've never gotten attached to any of them.
If someone can explain to me how "attachment" to therapists work, I would appreciate it. I would like to understand.

I can try. The one therapist I had that was fabulous, well I didn't trust her one bit at first. She was very gentle. I slowly started to see that she only wanted to help me. I opened up to her very slowly about SOME of the abuses I went through in that organization and in my teens. She was gentle and never pushed me. She helped me leave that organization. She saw me twice a week for free.
She held my hand and told me what was happening in that organization was wrong and I didn't have to put up with it. She helped give me the strength to leave.
I will never, ever forget her. If I wanted I could call her. She has moved though and she told me keep looking until I can find someone to work with that i feel safe with. Then call. That hasn't happened yet so until it does I'm not calling til I've healed more.
I'm still a little attached. But it's much better.
