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.

for me - regarding this therapist - even though she did put me in hospital and did all this things - she was gentle with me. she always seemed to listen to me. i mean there were some times where she was overreactive but she did listen. she never pushed me beyond limits that i couldnt handle. she never yelled at me. she took into consideration everything.
also even though she put me on that contract that we have she hasnt discharged/dismissed me from her therapy. she said theres been a few times where she shouldve discharged me from her therapy but she said she didnt because she wanted to give me more chances and could see things could possibly change with me.
i also could discuss ANYTHING with her. believe me i discussed everything from my libido and like masturbation to like me being gangstalked and she never told me she didnt believe me and she didnt back away from discussing things. at least she didnt seem to so yea.
i dont think i usually get attached to therapists. i mean i have been attached to 1 or 2 but not like this. ive been attached to a pdoc or two too. this therapist is just different. she really was. i think part of what made her different was she was an older therapist. and i kinda took to her on to be a mom figure to me. i think thats PARTLY what got me attached to her at first anyway.
anyway yea.
