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 guess to me my attachment to my therapist has shown me that love and care don't have to include abuse. he is kind of re-parenting me in a way. even though he is only 10 yrs older than me. he has taught me so much about so many things. i feel safe with him. he's never raised his voice at me or hurt me intentionally. even after all the crap i put him through in the beginning. of course i didnt trust him at first. but he has been consistent all 4 yrs of our working together. so my attachment to him shows to me that not all people/men are evil and are out to hurt me. he has shown me that it is ok to learn to trust people. he has said many times that he wont abandon me. i believe him. i think my attachment to my T helps me in my other relationships. im not good at explaining this. but this is how i feel about it
