Also if you have an attachment disorder, how long before T told you there was one and what it was?

Yes, I tell him these things. I've told him many times I need him to comfort me, that it feels really good when he is nurturing, and that I have intense longings to be closer to him. He is like the cloth mother monkey from the attachment experiments!
I told him I had attachment issues at the first or second session; I forget which one exactly. I have an anxious/preoccupied attachment, but I didn't refer to these problems as attachment issues tough.

Can you give an example of the kinds of needs you can't tell her about?
